                        I think your right Dino.it looks like a ‘Ford’ FE engine;in ’63’ they had a 406 cu.in. tri power,I believe around 410 h.p.? In ’64’ the 427 was introduced.Another guess,maybe an ole ‘352’ or ‘390’ he used ?

                                Wheres Pat Henneberry? He had a guy named “Red” working for him that ran a Ford powered altered. But I doubt Pat was in business in 63. I’ll prolly see Red this Sat at a Christmas Party. I’ll ask him then.

                                        😀 😀 😀 Hey…I be “thinkin” they were two brothers from the Newburgh NY area (might be able…to come up with their names)…the motor was a 427…dual 4v piece (stock..out of “wrecked” street car)… we bought one of the very first “slick-shifted” borg warner t-10’s (thats what was OEM equipment in 1963-early ’64 fords) from ’em…ooh baby…that thing shifted…well like…”butter”…on the second run ever….that “rascal” exploded like a hand grenade…case/gears/shafts…’ol Ronnie @ the Dover time shack…said they dove for the ground…stuff/shrapnal flyin’ every where! 😆 😆 😆 the good news is…nobody got hurt…’cept my feelings,wallet,and oh yeah…my knee…the Hurst T-shift handle/knob…smacked me in the knee…split …”me” kneecap…let me tell ya’ “hoss”…it “smarted” a bit… 😆 😆 😆 …that old Falcon did just about everything (attrition-wise) ‘cept go on it’s “lid”…looking at it now…”yikes”…’bout needed a ladder to get in it…so I guess we were “lucky”…always been told…I’m a “lucky” guy 😆 😆 :lol:…but that was the prevailing “thinking” back then (weight transfer???!!!***)…the ford toploader was much stronger…and when Doug Nash made some better gear ratios available for it…it was for the times…in a word…good! Drake…hey Jack…the guy “Red” you speak of worked for the late Lou Vignogna/Fishkill Plains Garage for some years…had a altered with a Fe series motor…regularly bought a lot of stuff from me…a good guy…although you can’t tell by photo…(can’t “see” the teeth)…it ain’t Red… remember (?) his “choppers” were like a lot of my neighbors here in Mooresville,North Carolina…they be missin’…’bout half of ’em ‘eh 😆 😆 😆

                                            I’ve met Red, he hangs out with Gary from A&G Auto on Rt 82 Hopewell. They work on golf carts together. I was supposed to go to their Christmas Party but got a much better offer from a female friend 😮 🙄

                                                    This guy appears again in the Patsy Judson collection, ODF files. 9th group of pics. Not driving the same car. Blue roadster, looks like a chevy powered altered. Different colored helmet, same type face shield……I got way too much time on my hands.
