Your pictures are there.

This is reminding me that I need to do something about the 3A2s in my 21CT55.... during the Superb owl and state of the union the color sync started drifting on longer programs... I changed the chroma osc tube adjusted the osc then went to bed. The next morning I got turned it on to see if the osc would sync cold, and before I could switch on my signal source I lost raster. The final 3a2 died... I was able to to confirm by swapping a weak one in. Now I gotta decide if I get more or build an SS substitute.

I configured a 1954 Austin Healey AH 100 with a big block 348 ci Oldsmobile V8 in mid 1957, 10 years before Shelby's 427 ci Ford big block. It had a curb weight of 2486# and a F/B ratio of 48/52% verses a weight of 2529# and F/B 48/52% for the Shelby 427. I have always wondered if Shelby was aware of the "OldsHealey" when he went "Big Block Cobra".

Seems Shelby's first attempt at a big block was to drop-in a 427 BB in place of the 289 SB, performed by his guys in Southern Calif. The guy that did the install apparently replaced a small block engine with a big block with no additional rear setback! He relates he went for a ride with Carroll thru the neighborhood. It was the most freighting time he had ever experience of his lifetime!

Shelby was assembling 289 Cobras in a LA Airport Calif industry zone in Elsungundo, virtually adjacent to Inglewood Calif where I did my engine swap. Seems strange they came out with exactly the same 48/52% F/B ratio, the same 90 inch wheelbase and the same curb weight within 48# curb weight! Amazing! Big Block engines alone must have weighed 200# to 300# more than the Small Blocks with no additional rear setback!

Anyway, I moved to Santa Inez Calif early 2000 to a Woodstock Calif 20 acre ranch with Judy and my classic cars: The '54
OldsHealey 418ci, '56 Chevy hardtop 327ci and '70 GTO 400ci are garaged along with a John Deer tractor and a golf cart.
In all these 18 years I have only met two car guys. A neighbor Dan Gerber with competitive Healeys and Larry Westbury with a competitive Shelby Viper V10.

I only rode passenger once with each. Dan's competitive Healey, and Larry's competitive Shelby Viper...... Scarry!

I thought the Viper came with a V10, not a V12.

Shelby never tried a 327 SB in the Cobra. The Cobra started out with the Ford 260 SB, then went to a 289 SB. Owners of the 260 cars could get the factory to replace their engine with the 289. They did try a 390 FE BB in one early chassis as an experiment. He then went to the 427 side oiler when he completely redesigned the car. There is almost nothing in common between the chassis/suspension/steering/bodies of the SB Cobra's and BB Cobra's. They never put a 427 in a SB chassis.

A couple of points-1)-Other than a SLIGHT loss of sharpness, the 21CT55 puts on a picture that makes all the Super-Duper HDTV junque of today hang its collective head in shame-To ME, anyhow... And the "Sharpness" business just might be the vagarities of a 2nd or 3rd generation screen shot, not optimal original signal, whatever. Secondly, Ferd made a WILD motor in the late '60s-a single overhead camshaft 427. My little sick & deviant mind has BOGGLED a lot over WHAT could have happened had they pursued development w/this mill- a DOHC version w/4 or 5 valves per cylinder, modern electronic control, the whole 9 yards. And they NEVER bore these puppies out to rival anything like we had back in the day-Ford's V-10 is a "Secretary Special" at a piddling 413 cubic inches. When they trump Caddy's 500 CID w/say, 550 or bigger wDOHC, 4 valves per cyl, & are pushing out 1200-2500 BHP, then we'll know they're SERIOUS... Of course, me, being VERY "Anal-retentive", I'm still cheesed that they relegated Flatheads to the dustbin of history...

FLICKR email address?

Has any member attempted to change their FLICKR email address? I tried this
morning and got nowhere! Seems it's impossibly complicated. I've had my original
one for at least 10 years: wschnerk@impulse.net. I want to change it to:
tomcomm@impulse.net, no big deal?? Anyone?

I hadn't realized that I didn't update my address with them, they still had me at an old one. Your post reminded me just now to change it. I just followed the directions at the link below, confirmed the email address, and everything was done in just two minutes. Because Flickr and Yahoo are associated with each other, I then updated my email address there as well, and deleted the old email address from both accounts. Worked flawlessly for me.
