Title: Engine ID
Post by: Robert Zambelli on June 10, 2021, 02:53:19 PM

Found this in my photo folder for my book.
Anyone recognize it?
Looks like a Fox 35 converted to rear intake.

It's definitely a something converted to rear intake.  Kind of like a Model A engine with a Cragar head -- yes, you can do it, but is it really the shortest path to high performance?

Bob, that be mine  Fox 35 with a Fox 29 RR crank ground down to fit the 35,S/T 29 rear backplate ASSBY. .the whole idea was to get rid of the weak link 35 crank. it was for Fox 35 speed but was outlawed before i could get it perfected.it needed a new head RAD

It's like showing up at a Chevette race with a Chevette body and Camaro running gear.  Yes, it's still a Chevette, but you're missing the point of the event.
