I have read this article before and it is great. The 427 car is just plain scary!

Real cool article, I bought the mag on ebay A few years ago for the Harrell article and noticed one day the bolt that holds the dipstick to the block was not yet tightened down in the pic of the 427. I'm sure they got it though...

Check out the rubber on top of the shroud instead of under it on the conv motor

Sorry but we did not have your level of expertise about getting things wrong... however somehow we managed to get
the cars patched together

Have a nice day

Given the fact that it was a hi-perf shop, originality was not much of a concern back then...question.....how were the Harrell tags installed on the valve covers ? rivets or taped ?

[Kim_Howie]

Belair, The ones I have seen were tape. Ray Morrison has some of them. Kim

Actually the metal tags were made by a trophy shop and came
with a strip of double-sided tape on them. We figured out that those would not stay on valve covers very long so a
little 3-m trim cement (the yellow stuff) solved that
problem, On the out side of the body a couple of pop rivets
worked well. The tape ones were not intended to be in either place.

Dave-
Any ideas on what ever happened to any of those cars?

There is a pretty good picture of 5 or 6 of them leaving
the shop on a auto transport over on the DH site. There are a few of them still around.
