Just in case some of you are interested,.... Here is a *UPDATE*

I got a lead where Loren McCombs might be,... and hit pay dirt !,... I just got off the phone with him and he answered a lot of questions I had. But here is some cool stuff for those of you interested.

(1) Won B/SR Class at the 1964 U.S. Nationals Indy.

(2) Won B/SR Regionals at Dragway 42 Ohio 1965

(3) Was disqualified for B/SR 1965 at Bristol because this Model A
had a 106" wheelbase, was bumped to Altered class,... Loren
added a second front cross member at 103", both cross
members are still in the car.

(4) Went back to Bristol Spring Nationals in 1966 and Won B/SR
Class.

Here some details on the engine as was told to me by Mr. McCombs,

He bought the engine in 1961 from a junkyard, his machinist thought it might be a truck engine, blueprinted, they shaved the heads .035, and decked .065 off the block, Forged high dome pistons,13.5 to 1 compression ratio, knurled crank, bored out to 327 c.i.d., Isky cam,Hilborn Fuel Injection, custom built headers. all built by Leo Gonzales. ( He said he got the biggest, heaviest most powerful battery he could find and mounted it in the trunk )

The transmission was a Mercury 3 speed that he said "was really long" He said the driveshaft was under two feet long.

The rear end might have been a 57 Ford or Olds.

He bought the car as a running Hot Rod in 1961 with a Gonzales Flathead (that he blew up), Zepher trans & 40 banjo rear end. It was light green and had done duty at Eckles Rd. and Motor City Dragway.

Don't know if this is interesting to you guy's but it's really exciting for me.
