Indy Question

I started with the V6 stuff out of neccesity, after Modified was killed in IHRA I found myself with a perfectly good car with nowhere to race it. After studying the rule book I found that if I put a V6 in the Stang I could run an X class. Well the internet is a good thing I started looking for V6 stuff and found a guy in Conneticut, who had enough stuff for 2 engines. Been through a few changes, some good some bad, had Mike lyons do me a set of heads that was a big gain, thanks Mike, Custom pistons billet cams different rocker ratios ect. This is all old Busch grand national stuff they ran back in the 80's and early 90's so it's pretty old technology, it's all Ford SVO stuff so it seems to be pretty durable. Would really like to have some modern cylinder head castings to work with, but I think the last heads were cast in 92. I really like running the V6 stuff it's different and man do the necks snap around when you drive through the pits, most people don't believe me when I tell them it's a 6 cyl. they always ask,Turbo, Nitrous and shake their heads when I say no.
