Just saying hi. Been watching this site for awhile now. Currently have a 67 sunbeam tiger that I have taken to goodguys Nashville autocross a couple times and to the goodguys bowling green autocross events. Went to the last Run Music City but had to sit on sidelines waiting for parts. Also have a 63 Chevy C10 that I'm slowly building. Currently also building a Dart based big bore 347 for the tiger to replace the 289 that is in it now.124685124686

Motor is a dart block big bore 347 with all forged internals. AFR 195 heads jesel shaft rockers, and hydraulic roller cam. Built by Ford Strokers. To get motor in and out of car you have to pull front suspension and raise car high enough to put in from bottom, always an adventure, while at it I did some frame reinforcing as well as opening the frame pockets to allow larger exhaust pipes to fit, and some other general repairs. Working on getting a FAST ez-EFI system to fit, 10lbs of stuff in a5 lb bag as they say. Car already has a nine inch ford rear end compared to the orginal Dana 44. As well as wilwood brakes on all four corners, and 15 inch wheels. Will probably move to 17 inch for more tire size availability.
