Hi Tony, It's been about 15 years since I've had any work done by Billy Graham. Maybe grouchy old man syndrome is setting in. I do remember he wanted to do things his way and tried to talk me out of spending money on a rebuild and just go buy a crate motor. I didn't listen, and paid him to machine and partially assemble a 454 chevy. Motor still runs strong so the quality of work was good. I grew up in Clay Center, but haven't lived there for quite awhile. I do get back a couple times a year to visit my parents. Another name from the past is Tom Williams from Leonardville. I don't know if he still has a shop or not. I googled him and he still seems to be a very active drag racer. Might be worth checking into.
John
