Now get to work on the F/BGC record.

Thank you, sir!  You and Gribs set the bar awfully high; you'll be a tough act to follow.

The big concern is the car is "inoperable" meaning it can not be driven on and off the truck,,

You should opt for door to door enclosed,,, that should be around $1500 if you are not in a big hurry.

Good luck

"You need to get the new Esslinger Tall Block with a Volvo head and go for the F/PS record."

This is a Production legal combination?

But, Dan, the tall block has a Ford Part Number M-6010-E2300T http://www.esslingeracing.com/new-products.htm   

Have a very Merry Christmas, Dan.

Of all the post that have occurred since Dan has been on Holiday in the Bahamas and he chooses to reply to this one only.
Called out by the Mayor himself.....OUCH! (LOL)  :mrgreen:
OK, maybe I went a "little" overboard with the Volvo head thing in PS......(OK, OK...a lot overboard). :-D

Seriously (and forget the Volvo head thing) , as Mike posted above, wouldn't the new Esslinger Tall block be legal since it does have a Ford part number?

I hope the cruise and weather are treating you and Joanie well.   :cheers:

OK, now that this is settled we are off to the Florida Keys. The rum supply in the Bahamas ran a little low so they will restock. Look out Jimmy Buffet!

Merry Christmas,

Dan,
Speaking of Jimmy Buffet, make sure you do Margaritaville in Key West.  :cheers:
Duval Street is a really wonderful and sometimes wacky experience.....Sights and sounds to behold.

Merry Christmas to you two as well.

Dan,
My chassis guy still has my rulebook so I could not reference it about the Production class.
Mike just got me straightened out in a post on another board.....
Production classes require "Cylinder heads are limited to original number of valves and port configuration"

My bad on the Volvo head thing.....I think I do not need to post about certain things if I don't have the book in front of me.  :-D

Merry Christmas all,  :cheers:
Gregg
