Here is a "yesterday" story that may be interesting to myself only, when I was in high school in the early sixties, I worked in a service station (remember those?) and my boss was a Ford fanatic, and had a 54 Ford 2-door Ranch Wagon that he had installed a 312 in it with a T-85 overdrive trans and some lower gears. I know, they are all 312s, but this one was. Engine was tweaked a bit, and man that thing would scoot! In my senior year I had put together a 53 Studie coupe with some goodies in the later engine, and it was okay. (well maybe more than just okay) and I always wanted to race him, but he never would. He traded the car in on a new 63 Galaxie, and I never saw it again. The car was really nice, black and white with a red and white interior with horses or cows or some thing like it as a design.
