Yes you are correct about Danny............ they had to fabricate almost everything on the engine....obviously! LOL!

If we are going to continue with the Ford crap we should start a new thread.......this is about KRE's NEW billet block!

Backtracking, are you George. You basically had the whole story backward.

Kalitta, Snake and the Hawaiian were running “SOCK” engines through the 1970 season.
"No I’m correct, when the hp level in the nitro engines got over 1,500-1,600 hp level the block started to break that would be around 1970." GTO George

WRONG GEORGE

Thanks for all of the correct info posts by others.

Don't call Danny Jones, "Danny", George, you never worked with him,
you never met him in person, Danny Jones hated Bull Chit Artists like yourself
claiming to know him.

So people on the board, here is a perfect example of "Fluff" and then getting caught at posting BS and refusing to admit it.

I did negative toward you George. I posted truthful info.
You Lied, you got caught, everyone knows you got caught.
and so now you call me names again and want to go back to the original subject.

Made me smile though, all of the people who posted and proved you were wrong.
