.... "Timmy" ......... our "Bad Brit" .........after 5 years and 2 months of sometimes frustrating work (or lack of), our 1948 English Ford Thames 1/4 ct. panel van is finally completed (for the most part .... at least he's finally out of the shop ....... we still have a few items which need to be addressed) 327 cubic inch Corvette engine now putting out approximately 375 horsepower, Turbo Hydro 350 tranny with a B&M 2800 stall converter, 9" Ford rear with 3.50:1 gears I'll try to get some video one day and post a you-tube link so you can hear the little rascal Thanks to all of you for patiently following his build and providing encouragement along the way. It really helped keep us on track. Thanks again, John
