September 2006 - Ride of the Month

Phil "Show Killer" Hosner #984

The Story:

• I have been the proud owner of this fine automobile since March, 2002. I am the third and last owner of this car. I just recently (7/25/2006) got finished rebuilding the engine. I fried the #1 piston on the stock motor with 136,500 on the clock. She now has Clevite 77 bearings on the mains and rods. She has Ross 9:1 racing pistons and rings and she is a little more grown up being bored .020 over. I reused the stock rods, crank and heads after making sure they were within spec.

Her list of SHO-N-GO goodies is lengthy. I will try and remember them all but I may forget a few.
