I am sorry to have missed this information. I am sorry for the families loss and drag racings loss.

I own Truman Field's Hard Times '68 Ram Air Firebird. Tom built the motors that powered it through C and D/S class wins at INDY from '71 thru '79. It set national records and was the '73 Stock Eliminator winner at INDY as just a few of the accomplishments that combo achieved.

The car still contains an Ellison motor under the hood. He and his work will be missed by this Pontiac enthusiast.

Hey guys, I'm trying to get some old pictures of the cars my uncle built engines for. If anyone has any, could you please post them. And if doesn't bother anyone , I was planning on putting them on Facebook. Maybe start an Ellison Engine Facebook page.

Eric, send me a message with your email address. I have several pictures of the Hard Times car from the 1970's. And I have a great shot of SS/K 455 HO GTO that Truman ran back at its first race at Milan when it set the SS/K national records.

Many of the files are two large to load onto this sight. But I have pictures going back to 1970 that Truman has supplied me or came with his cars when I bought them.

I've got a .065 400 pontiac shortblock that he machined for me that I haven't put together yet, saving for a good set of heads for it. He was a good man and I miss him.
