Re: Project "Poison Ivy" 54 GMC

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.

Re: Project "Poison Ivy" 54 GMC

again, I feel weird answering for fritz. I follow him on IG and he seems to be doing just fine. driving his GILOW truck. I last spoke with him at pittsburgh autorama, he had his GILOW truck there. He said ivy is in NY now.

Thanks for the reply 99! I figured not too many would see it just wanted to acknowledge the workwanship that went into that machine. Love reading these threads as it gives us all motivation to stay on top of our projects.
