25 Years ago while I was in the process of moving from Iowa to Pa., I gave John O'Halloren in Chicago a Hornet engine that was dissasembled. It was painted on the inside with Glyptol paint and had a really deep relief between the valves and cylinder bore also it had 1/2" head bolts. I was told it was a 56 Hornet engine and in a conversation with Jack Clifford was told the cam was the same as the Marshall Teaque cam per the cam #. He also said the 56 engine was the same as a 7X. ?????????. Has anyone ever put a 7X on a dyno. to see what it would really put out? !!!Not what you think, but what you know.!!! Curtis Turner lapped Darlington at 120mph. (I could be wrong on this) in 1954, if he did it had to be putting out some real poop.
