Ed Pink has died. He built engines until 2 years ago, though he officially retired in 2008

Pink tore apart the engine of his very first car pretty much as soon as he bought it, and built his last engine just a couple of years ago, at the age of 92. That motor was a Ford 427 SOHC "cammer" V-8, something that Pink built his career on back in the mid-1960s. It ended up getting shipped to Australia

I bet that engine owner KNOWS he's got the last engine built by "The Old Master"

After two years in the U.S. Army serving in the Korean War, Pink returned to Los Angeles and set up his own shop. He built his own dragster, and then started building engines for other racing teams. "Think Pink" became his slogan.
