| I get excited every time I see a cammer under the hood of any car, or truck. Greg Lennon's SOHC baby blue 1966 Gal is one heck of a head turning sleeper. It was originally a 352 powered automatic fastback car, from N.C. The color is the original "baby blue" with the only changes to the body being a fiberglass hood and homemade aluminum bumpers. Power comes from an original cammer block bored .020 over with J&E 12.5:1 pistons; Crower rods w/ Chrysler hemi size big ends; Ford steel crankshaft and aluminum heads w/ solid S/S valves. Transmission is the big toploader 4 speed w/ a recently installed McLeoud street twin clutch. Greg says "I hope it will take the abuse. My last clutch did not like the torque very much." Cooling is provided by a Ron Davis racing radiator that Greg says are very nice and he recommends them. Since the car weighs 3700 pounds and there is an abundance of under hood power to get it moving quickly, stopping is handled by 12" Wildwood discs in front with twin master cylinders with an adjustable balance bar. |

| Terry Dean transported this "Black Plate" (non running) rust free car he calls "California Dreaming" from Los Angeles where it was built in late 1963 to Maryland where he resides. He did a complete frame off restoration about four years ago. He nosed and decked it and will remove the fender antenna this winter as a typical 60's mod. Other than that, the body is stock. The engine is a modified 390, running a mild Crane cam; modified oiling system w/HV pump; HD shaft; windage tray and 427 filter adapter w/ 1/2" passages plumbed to dual remote filters. Intake is Edelbrock aluminum w/ rebuilt tri-power setup w/ progressive linkage. fed by a Holley electric fuel pump. Ignition is a Mallory dual point dizzy with Mallory wires and BF-32 plugs. Exhaust is Hooker Super Comp, adjustable coated headers w/ complete home-made mandrel bent duals into DynoMax mufflers at the rear. Rear is 3.91 open w/ Lakewood traction bars, but the rear is being changed to a 4.11 Detroit Locker this winter. Trans is a 4-speed top loader. Wheels are Crager S/S (What else?) |
