David,

Thanks for the complements! :-)

I like the '32 Ford body style as well and I didn't want to go with a
350/350 or 350/700R4, too mainstream.

The v6 is a roller lifter/roller rocker, aluminum head engine from the
factory rated at 160HP... No lack of power there for a 2100 pound car.

It is a speed density based controller and the firmware is still in
active development and it does start up and idle like a factory ECM.
I am still tuning the controller to the engine... :-)

I am also the designer of the ECU PCB board as well as the
builder/owner of the Deuce.
