Welcome to Phil
I recall that Phil has followed ChevyTalk forums, and am glad to see that he has joined this group of contributors
Phil and I met when he came to Columbia for a swap meet. Next time he's in town he is invited to spend the night at my place if he wants to. The catch is he has to see all the stuff I've been collecting these past few years
Welcome aboard!

Phil - It's great to have another peron in the KC area that posts on this site!!!!!!. Tom K and I are going to meet in Odessa on 10/11 for the Good Time Oldies car show. If you can make it over it would be great! From what I understand the Shaffer boys will have some of their treasure out for show.

Thanks Tom. Donnie's been buying parts for the last 2 months trying to get all his display motors ready!!!!! He said he is going to have 13 complete 348 and 409 engines on display!!! Will be the largest "W" display in the world, I think!!!!!!!! If any club members are handy...THIS IS THE DISPLAY TO COME SEE!!!! If anyone needs directions or time and place, just let me know.
I'm going to try to be there. I have a customer coming in that day from Canada and will do my best to try to make it to the car show also.
I tried to get TomK to come to the shop last summer when I had the Hilborn fuel injected 409. It was on the run stand and was quite a sight...AND SOUND....to see. But it's gone now but still in KC.
Hope to see you on Sat.

I'd be very interested in hearing about the Hilborn injected 409. I have something like that in the works.

HILBORN INJECTED 409
Mike:
That engnine wasone of a kind. It was built by Errol Kampshroder. He had it in a 1700# roadster....top was 9.51 @ 149 MPH!!! That thing flew!!!!!
Errol was a master machinist and welder. He machined the top of an Offenhouser small port 2x4 intake and then welded up the ports to fit the 690 heads. Then made adapter plates for the injectors. The heads had probably the first set of hand made pushrod guide plates, roller rockers, Isky roller cam and Vertex magneto. It was awesome!!! I always wanted to put it in the worlds uglyist street rod to upset everyone!!
I've tried to attach some pictures. If they don't come through, just email me directly and I'll send them to you. As slow as I type, just call me and I'll tell you everything I know about it.
Hope the pics come though.

The Shaffer brothers in Chevy Rumble
I just came home for the evening and spotted the newest copy of Chevy Rumble amidst the mail. It has a nice 3 page article of Tony Shaffer's '66 Nova sport coupe on pages 28-30. The article starts out:
"Everyone who has been a 409 Chevy fan knows that Missouri's Don Shaffer has been one of the fastest on record during the last 15 years."
Right in my own back yard!
Can't wait to meet TomO along with the Shaffer brothers and hopefully Phil Reed again! Phil, I think I spoke with a guy names Lee who bought that fuelie off of you. He lives in the KC area as well.
Best,
TomK

PAUL.....it's good to hear from you again. This spring, I looked all thru my notes...several times....and I could not find your phone number and address. I was so disappointed.
Yes, we made it to Alaska this summer on the Harley...9,108 miles in 37 days!!! Your state is BEAUTIFUL!!!! Went up to Chicken again, as we will everytime!!! But the road on over to Dawson City, Yukon was the pits!!! We had one stretch where we had a 2 mile washboard!! Shook out every filling I had in my teeth plus a couple of bolts loose on the Harley!! Took a side trip this time...flew from Fairbanks to Barrow. We got to walk out on the pack ice where the polar bears go!! IT'S JUST INCREDIBLE!! We left Valdez and stayed in Paxson on our way north to Fairbanks. Then we stayed in Tok on our way south. I really wished I could have found your number because I certainly would have called. We have too many things in common not to meet someday. We will be coming back up again in 2 years so will do a better job on keeping your phone number!!
Hope all is well. Keep in touch.

Phil -
Man, you weren't kidding. That's outrageous looking. I'll bet that engine stand hauls!
I'm bleeding out financially after building my Bel Air, but if I ever recover, I'm going to adapt a Hilborn manifold to the 409. Already have sketches of how to do it. Don't ask me why. The challenge maybe.
Thanks for the inspiration.
