Jimmy Stevens Has passed away
« on: February 29, 2024, 05:54:02 PM »

 Jimmy Stevens from San Diageo has passed away. Jimmy was well know for building record setting Ford flathead engine's for Bonneville and the dry lakes as well. He also build Jr dragster B&S engine's. Jimmy's ability to get lots of horse power out of the old flathead was certainly inspiration for me and i know many others as well. He will be missed.

Thanks for your posting. I just read about Jimmy passing. We enjoyed each other?s company and I thought a lot of him and his skills. He was always a happy person and I was lucky to call him a friend.
