I recall there was an old hand considered one of the best in the business and he's a Ford nut too. I'll ask the question and PM you if I find out.

I think his name is George Wagner, the bloke in Landsbourgh your all refering to. he is very well respected in the drag racing scene and has been there in his workshop for a Gazillion years. I think it still races at Willowbank too.

Thats him, you have to tell him exactly what you want done, then leave him alone. Don't call him, he'll call you when it's finished. DO NOT RUSH OR ANNOY HIM !!!! Then you'll get a great job done..........

If it's just the head, send it down to Peter Liddle (Liddles Cylinder Heads) at Sumner Park
