I had the pleasure of spending some time in Grumpy's shop, back in my Army days in DC, and he had quite an impressive number of horsepower makers, he was running the big W block when I was there, and before I went, I had owned a new 1959, with the tri-power W, and a 1960, also new, with the same number of carbs, just more Hp, and when we went to York, Pa the first time, I couldn't believe how fast that thing was, the earth shook, just like it used to at Salem, when the Super's ran there. Quite a man of his time. RIP!
