Re: Hi-Speed Power Equipment
I was doing some consulting work for Valley Stream Chevrolet about 7 or 8 years ago (?) and I drove by Frank's shop on the way to our favorite cigar shop.
I stopped in and tried to buy some of those vintage parts.
Spent quite a bit of time with Frank, interesting guy to say the least. Muscle cars, roadracing, even motorcycles (he had a turboed Kawasaki which he had built) was not the ice breaker.
He let his guard down when I noticed an original radiator for a 1936 Fiat Topolino, he had sitting on a shelf.
He had both a Chassis and engine Dyno. First on Long Island he said.
Now don't shoot the messenger, but he told me that he did a lot of Dyno work for Joel Rosen, before he got his own, as Motion Performance was just down the Road.
I can't find my old post? Glad you had a chance to get that info posted. Very Cool stuff. Most people just drive by and have no idea of the history contained between those walls!
John Gunnell and I were just discussing Frank at the Vette Fest and he just interviewed Frank for a future story. (I hope this is ok to post)
