This should be in Off Topic. Not everyone reads C1 and C2.

No, the "pink" rods were not produced by Ed Pink. But, he did build a huge number of racing engines.

Live well,

Used to drag race in the Valley where his shop was! He wasn't too thrilled about Street racers but his shop had nothing to do with it, but he was a cool guy with fantastic stories! RIP
