Here’s a couple pics from Gerald of a Zooped up F-Head. Gerald writes, “Here are pictures of a hot rod f-Head. This is in a tube frame racer at Lisbon in 02. Not the kind of motor you see spinning high rpms. From what little he would say it had a dry sump oil system, a block girdle, “modified” head, custom fabbed intake, electronic ignition, etc. It may have had nitrous as well nut not sure. That hood was open in public for less than 5 minutes. He was not real talkative. But man that thing flew.”
I found a zooped up L-head article that I’ll feature tomorrow.

I saw that also around that time frame in Lisbon. I think it had an auto transmission too!

Bob you are right it did have an auto. That was the other weird aspect of the set-up. Do you remember anything else?
I was asking him about the valve train, he said it was a roller, the head was modified with bigger valves, and the cam was built up and ground to his own spec.
Radical.
