Greetings and salutations to you, Fordophiles!

I suppose I should introduce myself. I've had a long stream of Fords since they sold my company American Motors. My father used to have a high-perf garage in Dallas where we worked on stock cars as well as drag cars and whatever came in the shop. Across the street was a GM dealership and we used to drive them crazy. The best 454 big blocks they could build were routinely stomped into the dirt by our 395 inch AMC engines. Lived for several years virtually at the drag strip. We ran 700 inch pro stock cars in the late eighties, my little brother drove. I got to play with Ford true Boss 302 and 351, and Mopar monsters 426 true Hemi and 440 among other varied V-8s from the sixties.

Ran a '74 Mustang II for a while till hail took it out, later got two Tempos, one Contour and two Focus cars, those five are all running fine. Got a 1980 Pinto wagon beater that I intend to get back running before I die. Lots of hotrod motorcycle work in there too. I've turned into a 4 cylinder man, and have never paid for car work of any type, all done by me.

Welcome aboard.. Wish I still had these two cars..

Yeah, they sure did have a unique sound to them, took the factory rev limiter and let er wind up it really hauled the mail, in fact my buddy with his 428CJ Fairlane couldn't pull me on the top end..

Never was an AMC fan but the AMX sure was a cool car, if I would have had the coin at the time I would have loved to put a Boss 302 in one, would have been interesting.

That brings back memories, guy I worked with had one with a 390 his was low 11's if I remember right and he drove the crap out of it. SBC's are just torqless wonders,lol..
