Tim... the delivery charge is gonna kill you ! I'm in Hueytown, Alabama...
'bout 12 miles SW of Birmingham. Right now it's a one engine design...
strictly for a Ford BB 460. But maybe one day I'll make it a universal
design or maybe someone that borrows it will, that would be even better.
I've got the design plans for universal... just wanted something quick and
easy. I don't see this as a repeat tool in my shop. I'm 64 and don't plan
on the engine building as a sideline !
