well, let me know what you are looking for in parts, and maybe I can help you out. I have a 302 from a 71 F100, if I am right, it maybe worth a little something to you. Other than that, let me know what physical help you need, and I will see if I can accomodate you. Cash, well, that is a tough one... I'm a pretty fair welder,fabricator and such, so it may be of use to you...

ive got a car found, actualy a couple of cars, and all of them are fairly reasonably priced(for a sprint car) ill be calling a couple of guys here in the next couple of days to see if i can land a better deal. i know the guy that runs the Caseys general stores race teams and most of the souther iowa/northern missouri bigger name sprint guys.
ive already got a block and heads found, a set of 16:1 flat top pistons, race rods, and crank found. im going to need a few one off parts ....
ive gota lot more connections than i thought but none are any good till ive got a rollin chassis..
and for any one that cant realy help out with cash or fabricating parts...ill let yall know when season starts next year in south east iowa so yall can come up and support from the stands..
fellro, you might try some of your iowa boys as well...

Codyjoe start calling people the worst they can say is no. a little BS goes a long way . I call people all the time and just ask if they have any free stuff . I know it sounds stupid but I get a lot of free stuff. I may even have a sponsor for my bronco/mud truck but try it you will be suprised!

good lookin car, and he said if i can come up with the money by friday i get the top wing with it but i dont see that happenin....
as for the ford motor, ive already got the set up sheets, ill have to move the front axle forward 2 inches, and right one, and half that on the rear end....the ford block weighs more so we have to make up for that(with more power
)
