Default The Mark Being Featured in a Magazine

Well everyone, The Mark is planned to be featured in a magazine. I am humbly flattered, that my Mark build intrigued the editor of two magazines. We have spoken, and a feature is planned for the final stages of The Mark build.

They will be following Aric Carrion with Injected Engineering, while he builds my new forged motor, the swap, SC tube work, etc. taking photos of everything along the way.

I will post stuff here, as they come up with this part of the build.

Many Thanks to Aric, Ryan, and Tyler with Injected Engineering, as this build is all about their impeccable craftsmanship, and attention to detail.

I also would like to thank Mr. Will Smith, with Buckaroo Communications - Ford Builder and Super Rod magazines for making my day

Will Smith, I love Fresh Prince of Bel Air, haha jk.

Congrats on magazine articles. So you're not happy with a supercharged Mark, now your gonna get it fully built? I envy you Mike. Congrats once again, always cool to see a fellow enthusiast recognized. I'll have to pick up a couple copies.

Are their any superchargers that bolt-on the intake manifold rather than the centrifugal superchargers? Arent those more powerful? I bet that alone would get you in the low 11's. My uncle has a 67' Firebird that runs 7's with a 14-71 Littlefield blower.

That's great Mike. It's about time one of our Marks got in a mag. I would lock the car up in a safe place until the shoot and check on it often just so nothing happens to it before the shoot. Don't know if you remember or not but while I was in CA MM&FF tried 3 times to get both my cars in for shoots. One thing after another caused the shoots to be canceled. I was approached again here in FL but they were hoping for something more than an NA engine so I don't think it will happen.

It's a hunting for #1 spot on the list and someone has to be the first one to get the mark VIII into 10's

Thanks Everyone! I am thrilled to say the least. Aric has already sent a Teksid block to the machine shop last week, and has all the engine parts on order. Let the fun begin! Stay tuned...
