I am of the age I not only remember Wil and James, but spoke in passing once. We pulled to Englishtown '73, '74 ?, for the only trip we made east of Illinois. I was running a 64 Barracuda, 340 6 barrel, stroked to 408, shifter car, can't even remember the class we were put in.Of course I made the rounds of the MOPARs, and to some degree FOMOCOs. I think they had the Duster that weekend, but I wouldn't bet my pocket change on being right. Glad you got this episode out, not only looking forward to your next episode with them, but appreciate most of all your postings.
Will is a wonderful person that i truly enjoy talking too and this interview speaks volumes to his youthful spirit!!! Thanks for this inspiring interview and God Bless you all !!
What a great video. What a class act the Small wood brothers are. I hope some day I can meat them and get them to singe my race car. Keep up the awesome work. Rodney in Wartburg tennessee. Your welcome to come over to my place anytime. Thanks
HI PARKER , I enjoy all your videos HOWEVER THESE ARE PRICELESS.. I think this past week in LONG ISLAND N.Y. , there was a HUGE law enforcement action taken against STREET RACING , don t think they arrested anyone but some police may have got hurt chasing some racers. I wonder if some of the now closed tracks were still open , would it stop some street racing ? TY , Please do more videos for us and may his brother R.I.P.
The engine stamp on the small block is on either side of the block at the top of the block. I had a few mopars in my youth. Won a 1969 R.R. with a 1970 Duster. I invented the $40.00 tunnel ram. Kicked the R.R. in the ass. He wanted to trade vehicles. That was a 69 383 HP 4:10 gears, Hemi 4 SPD Against a 1970, $750.00 Duster 318 Automatic. They also had a 68 GTX with a blown up 360. They had started tearing down the engine. I bought the 340 Torker, single air fuel mixture Carter Carburetor, & M/T valve covers for $60.00. Before they had the R.R. I had a 1966 Plymouth Valiant, 1st car. I wanted a new car. I had a job saving my money through the wrong bank. My dad. Gold rangs & gold chains. He brought me the 1966 Plymouth. Already smoking, already needing more work than I knew how to put into it. 6 cylinder. It didn't last long. 1 of those guys drove a dirty Chevy Caprice. He was telling me he was going to get a car, I couldn't imagine what it would be. 1 day he came to school in a 1969 Pearl Gray Road Runner and yelled!!! Come on nigga let's go!! into a crowd of Nigros. I ran out of the crowd and got in the passenger seat.He is a Spanish friend. All the rest of the nigros wanted me to fight him cause he yelled: Come on nigga let's go! I have 1 uncle had a 1966 Plymouth Fury. And he came & inspired me 1 day. Took me to show me how many feet he could burn rubber in the 66 Fury. That is my dad brother. My dad was a Cadillac nut. After the 66 Valiant didn't last he gave me a 1969 Cadillac Sedan DeVille. And took me to a old hoe's house. Thank God she had a daughter. I went to a mechanic school and learned, Intake, Compression, Power, exhaust. And the formula for Pie, that was no concern of me. I wanted to rebuild engines. I didn't want a pie, I wanted a bakery. The R R. Dad clued me to the Machine shop, after I unsuccessfully tried to rebuild a 351 Windsor without a Machine shop work. I finally got to build a few. My last Mopar was a 1973 Plymouth Bcuda. Rebuilt a 1970 440 , 3:23 Posi Trac, Heavy duty automatic Torque Flight. 440 came out of a Chrysler New Yorker. I had to let it go, when a so called friend of mine said to me: If we can't smoke crack together we can't be friends. I was born again spiritually a year later. After I was born again. The miracles began immediately. God put me in company of a man that allowed me to go to Truck driving School for free and paid me to go. And Crackadamion nut died last year. Dad died years ago, I threw away 2 392 Hemi engines after I rebuilt the 440. Kept 2 heavy duty automatic transmission.I bought all of it together from a x coworker for $50.00. while on the subject of $50.00 I bought the 1973 Bcuda out of a man's back yard for $50. I had built the 440 for a 69 Charger. Another dope head sold me, had a bad title. I knew I could never do anything with it. I was coming from?? Somewhere 1 day and saw a Red shape of a Cuda with 1 wheel on it. I went and knocked on the door. The old man wanted $50. For it just to get it out of his back yard. It belonged to his son. He would send the son with the title later. By the time his son came. He couldn't even recognize his car. He drove by twice, I had to flag him down. If you see a transmission that resemble a Torque Flight and it has a emergency brake, Hub on the tail end. Get some deep sockets and extensions. Best I recall. 7/8" socket. Will get you a factory built 727 torque flight. It took me a few months to figure that out. I used 1 out of 2. Don't know what happened to the other. I put those Hemi engines in the trunk of a 73 GTX after I took the 3:23 Posi Trac out. Disc brakes and manual steering box. And gave it all to a junk yard man. I was about 23 or 24 years old back then. I'm not anymore.
I grew up in NJ in the sixties i remember a fast black street racer i can't remember his name it was like midnight or black Knight something like that he had a black comaro
Hey you got to get to Hyattsville Maryland I seen on Facebook that they cleaned up Malcolm Durhams Vega the strip blazer and put a big block in it and ran it at MIR drag strip I hope that you can can do a interview with Malcolm Durham jr
maybe the camera man should have went to the rear to show the exhaust while he was revving the engine...just a lil obvious advice...def a missed opportunity
