I think I ruined 4jawCHUCKS Thread by posting this on it Sorry!!! LS engine versus SBC throw down, who has the best torque below 3000, HP to HP
Some times I don't think and just type its too late to delete it now:drunk::smash::smash:
I posted this later: If you don't want it on here 4Jaw have it removed It won't bother me at all LOL:thumbup:
And he moved the thread to the lounge and now I feel like CRAP:evil:
So I moved it here Myself and he can put his thread back

Getting old and hanging on to old memory's::mwink:
Bob Larson & Joe Liberty were my competition in the early years sponsored by Mayfair Auto parts, Bob passed 2 years ago Joe retired a while back onother friend of mine, all of us from Down river, another friend Detroit area AKA Chet, or DAN, Dana was his real name he hated that Died in a race crash at Ubly Dragway in the late 60s!! 3 innovators ones life cut short Joe started Liberty Gears and Bob started Larson engineering Both way ahead of their times!
I went to work for Bob in the 70s in the engineering and design department and welding with my friend Packy Who drove the "Pack Rat" We learned a lot there and left to further our careers on friendly terms:thumbup:
1st pic is of Bobs 1950s show car! Go to this site The Hot Rods of Dearborn: The Untold Stories The Hot Rods of Dearborn: The Untold Stories
The 2nd pic is Chets A/FX car it fliped and Rolled part way into a pass and took Chet from his family and friends but left me with great memorys from my youth
Joe & Bobs Gasser 3rd pic enlarge the pic on the bottom notice the header 2 primary tubes from each head joining into 1 collector and the same with the other header The Dyno showed huge gains over the 4 from one head into 1 collector that is a normal design This is in the 60s!!! I had a house fire and lost all my own pics in the 70s so I had to post these and notice the solid frame in one pic and the holes in the frame in the second!
You young guys that missed that you missed a great time in HP history Now the back yard garage innovations are far and few but then Ideas and fabricating was all over the map and we old farts are dieing out fast I still race a bit not running the circuit any more just Local tracks or a nostalgia drags once every few years or at the local air port (Gladwin Zettel Memorial Airport)4 weekends a year that has clocked 1/4 & 1/8 mile drags and tune up runs, and the pit chat I see today is what to buy and whats it cost!
