Coming soon...

YES... This IS THUMPER!  1967 Fastback Mustang I purchased NEW in Aug of 1967 in San Diego Ca.  Pictured is at a small Drag Strip in Alaska.

302 Cubic Inch small block Ford PARTS!  Modified of course, but you can see small cubic inches doesnt mean you can not build power,  Yes??

This engine was all Iron FORD.  Using some of the tricks of the day, and lots of Port work on the 351 Cleveland IRON Heads. ( 351C heads on a 302 W equals a 'Bogus BOSS 302' ) Top Loader 4 speed Transmaission, cause if you arent shifting... you arent driving.  And lots and lots of time spent on R&D to make road tested parts fast and fun!

" THUMPER" is still with me today.  It has gone thru a LOT of different FORD engine sizes.. from the smallest 1964 260 V8, 289's, 302's, 429 SCJ, 460 ( thus my handle Thumper460 ).  Then went 'big or dont leave the pourch"  572 14:1 , and then down sized to a 544 10.5:1.  Today I am out of the monster blocks..  Big Block stuff is HEAVEY!!  ( and hard for an Old guy to lift!)  I am back to building another small block 302 Cubic inch Ford, using more 'old school' along with some new stuff and plan to be back out on the streets this summer with a high winding small block once again.  I guess it all comes back around, yes??

More to come...
