woodro josey for stock.he has set 73 national records,not counting the many records set by engines that he has built for customers.i was fortunate enough to collect 18 records with the lt-1 and 305.not taking anything away from other builders,but to not have access to a dyno,that's pretty sporty.he never charged enough for his pieces.my engine has been in 4 years.see you in bristol. good luck biggg stuff

If my memory is correct Ken Montgomery built his own motors.Don Owens (Pink Panther) may have done some machine work for ken when Don worked at Shaws Speed Shop.
