Been Lurking,Better intro

[Ross Racing Engines]

Hello ,
Just found and joined this site a few months ago and it really looks like a good source of info for the W engines

Little about myself,I'm an engine builder/machinist/fabricator by trade having grown up in the family buisness.We have been in this location since 1978 and I've built engines for all forms of motorsports,local and national level
including circle track/dirt and pavement,ARCA,Bush,Woo,drag,offshore boat,truck pull and Hotrods.

Ive raced dirt latemodel cars for 25 years,my current and probably last oval track car is in my avitar.My parents retired as of Jan 1st so I must consetrate on the buisness more than running all over the east coast racing.

Ive got a couple projects in the works now with one being a bone stock 1957 2dr 210, that I just aquired from my uncle who has owned it since 1963.
Im 43 years old and have been trying to get this car since I was 16....... Dont ever give up
The plan is a 60's stlye sleeper with a 3-2 /348stroker/ muncie combo with dog dish hub caps kind of a look.
The motor Ive started on is in great shape,It'll be dressed to look the part with all updated internals.


Thanks for looking,
Tony

Welcome to the zoo Tony......... you'll have mail in a couple of more days.

.............. and we all like pictures !!! Your '57 sounds like a nice car, guess I can't call it a find, because you knew where it was all along.

Welcome from another circle track guy

These guys are really a nice group and kinda smart about this era of cars even if they mostly go straight 8 to 12 secs at a time. Welcome and will you be at Thompson?

Welcome, Tony...... What Derry asked,,,,,, Are you coming to Thompson? Would be a real shame to live in Ohio and miss this event. hope to see you there.

The car is getting a complete redo as sitting in a barn since 1969 didnt do it any favors but its a great solid piece to start with ,so Im collecting parts and starting on an engine

Welcome Tony, good choice of cars, I've owned my 57 for 30 years and its had a 409 in it 29 years. Stop by at Thompson and we can talk about 57's and maybe I can give you some advice on installing a 348 in your 57.

 

[k9hotrodder409]

Hey Tony, I did my 348 swap "OLD SCHOOL STYLE" I used whatever I could find around my garage. I used up whatever I could. I am still working on it when time and money allow. Best of luck with your build.
