"Firesuit Phil" - all you need for a '46 g***er. That car ran great, has a very cool Olds engine that Phil highly modified.

Here's more:

You don't see too many 46-48 Ford g***ers for some reason.

 

Because they're heavy

 

Not any heavier then alot of the cars you see done g***er style. Right in that 3,300 pound range with full interior etc.

because God built too many 55-57 Chevys? haha

 

That Ford has all the seams filled and fenders welded. Phil was a smart guy, he machined the parts to move the distributor from the back of the fuel injected Olds to the front. Not sure why. Anybody know?

 

I really wanna see some pics under the hood, just finding pics when he raced..

Here's one:

 

Owning a 47, I'd guess the distributor moved to the front because you can't reach anything under that barn door of a hood.

 

Don't know anything about this car but it's cool. Taken at Muncie Dragway last week end.

Here is an old timer ,still racing.

 

baddest 46 style ever....

 

More accurate timing. Camshafts can actually twist when large lifts and stiff valve springs are used causing the timing to be erratic if the distributor is the last item being driven.

 

I watched Fire Suit Phill at Norwalk a few years ago-The old Ford hauls *** and is a lot of fun to watch
