    They didn't come in anything. There was a racing league that Ford wanted to race in, but they required a "production" engine. So Ford thought of the bright idea to cast a "production run" of ~200 blocks. There are not many of them left around, expecially untouched like our was. They are based off the 2.3 lima block, but the deck height was increased ~1/2" to allow for a longer stroke, and the webbing was strengthened to handle much increased power. The block is overall 75 lbs heavier than a normal 2.3 block.

    Finally, progress has begun again.

    The seat has been mounted, the steering shaft has been mounted, the shifter has been moved rearward to fit the seating position, pedals as mounted, the clutch linkage is complete, most of the interior pannels have been made, the firewall is nearly complete, the trans is mounted, the driveshaft safety loop is in.....

    Some pics of what we've been working on as of late.

    Its collected a bunch of shit over the years.

    I'd like to one day too. We took a long hiatus working on it (probably about a year and a half), but we've got a bug up our asses again and are knocking shit out lately.
