New from Kansas

Hello all!

I'm new to the site, from Wichita, Kansas. I am a Ford lover and have been around or familiar with several of the different Ford families. I have dealt mainly with the small block stuff, but am looking at the possibility of doing a 385 family build. I will be trying to get some ideas around this site and do some pricing, etc. I am thinking of doing an N/A or turbo setup in either my '93 Mustang or my '72 Maverick (with fabrication, obviously!).

I am a drag racer by heart. My Grandfather and Great Uncle drag raced a chopped '41 Willys in the A/G class of NHRA in the late 50's/early 60's. They used big block Ford power... at the time was a '59 Edsel engine (also called MEL or 430 Lincoln). It was stroked/bored by Joe Reath, M/T Pontiac rods and M/T pistons for 501 ci. They were the first A/Gas into the 10's and also won the '61 Winternationals for A/Gas at Pomona. So, my BBF roots come from there (although it was before the 460).

Thanks in advance for the welcome!

Welcome to the site!. The best place to learn about the BBF

welcome to the site Jeremy ..... love to see another foxbody build , but im kinda biased towards the foxes

Thanks for the welcome, guys. I am biased towards the foxes, but I would love to see my Maverick with one too. Maybe I'll just do both, lol.

Welcome aboard

Welcome to the board Jeremy. I love the BB in a Maverick,mostly because I raced one for years. Good luck w/project.
