just a quick note and question on the '57 blower fords .

the supercharged engine was rated at 300 HP , but 340 HP in NASCAR trim .
the 2X4 was rated at 270 HP ... 285 in NASCAR trim .
the cars dominated in nascar in '57 , and in the JR. stock classes in the mid - late '60's . as well as the tudors and at least one [ the "osage yellow hoss" ] fordor hardtop , there were quite a few wagons . and there were 3 supercharged wagons built by the factory in '57 .
i've been looking for info on larry walker's "legal cheater" for years . also tried to locate mr. walker - with no luck . you say the car is in BC and is being restored ? are any photos - or any more information - available ? does anyone know how i might contact larry walker ?
thanx for any help .
