User: Rick Toombs Location: Friendsville, TN, U.S.A. Email: E-mail this user Avatar: Notes: I retired in 1999 after working for Ford Research & Engineering and Holman Moody for many years. I started with Ford in 1966 at the age of 19. I was a Class A dyno technician and engine builder and participated in the development of the 427 TP and Calliope LeMans package for the GT 40, the 428 CJ / SCJ and the 429 CJ / SCJ / Boss and the TA 302 TP along with many experimental prototypes. I now only build FE's and 385 engines for people that I like to deal with. Created: 8/24/2004 Last Modified: 5/17/2007 Profile Hits: 4097
