This ford car is backed with a small block chevrolet 350. It has A .490 lift cam with flat top pistons and a set of .194 heads and is bored out .030 Best pass through the strip yet was 15.9 but that was just feeling the car out there is still a lot more left to this car and when it gets it chance this Pony's Heartbeat will beat fast.
Car has hit mid thirteens at the first race of 2006 at Cape Breton Dragway with a 13.64 at 102.50 mph. The car still has a little more in it yet and still adding some things such as shift kit and high stall convertor..
Update: October 2006
2006 season started off ok with starting to run thirteens the first weekend then went bad blowing up an engine the second race at Cape Breton on friday but getting the spare bullet in her for sat proved to be great when she started hitting 12's and went to the pro class With my best run coming last pass of the season 12.36@110.28. The car also took a second place in the duck race in Oct With my father driving (Brian Woodfine Sr)so thanks for making that happen Da But I still hold the cars records!!!
