From what i've heard Bri is looking to set up a new business and needs to raise the money to get it off the ground. Doubt he would have sold it otherwise.
The engine isn't the original anyway, that was a blown 427 Chevy.

I suppose everything that could possibly have been said about that car has been said. It really was THE car that bought customising to the masses. Ok, I know I'm an old fart BUT, I need to say that, as brilliant as the resto is and as fabulous as it is to see the car about again, i feel a twang of disappointment that the interior is more quarter miler than Ford Consul. Thing is, as a 14 year old boy, seeing that car for the first time, seeing the bench seat and interior that screamed Ford Consul in a car that was no longer just a Ford Consul really did it for me. There it was, a family car that could be had, in those days for tuppence, and someone had re engineered it enough for it to be a sensation yet it was still a common or garden 62 Ford Consul, that was the magic!! Maybe, its all about "elf and safety" and the interior had to be fastforwarded to 2011...........  |

I am bryans crewchief on henry and his nova,its true about the new business venture I know he will make a success of it as I have seen the spoils of his work in this field... ...as to henry the block is the original as used by stu vallance now bored to 468 cubic inches. I have driven this car and have cruised sheffield at the steel city cruisers show this year and its awesome,the noise even with silencers is fantastic its a genuine 650hp from kenny coleman at E.D.A....with a race crank this motor will make an easy 900hp.. some vids here... www.youtube.com/user/tormentracing#p/a/f/0/ayqKnQXeNaAwww.youtube.com/user/tormentracing#p/f/4/ny84Sst2axcbryan is a great friend and crewchief on my funny car and was definatly the right man for the job of restoring henry. |

I'm not completely useless, I can be used as a bad example.
