I went to the Speedway Motors Museum in Lincoln, NE last week. They have tons of sprint car and flathead engines and parts there, and a lot of cars too. They had four of the Plymouth-Weslake engines on display, one in an Indy wedge car, one in a sprint car and two engines on display.

One of the best speed related museums in the country!

They change out displays pretty often too, from what I've been told.

It's an amazing place - haven't been there in many years, but even then I could spend a full day there.
Bill had guys all over the Country looking for stuff for him.

My boy and I visited the museum on the '08 Hot Rod Power Tour.
A great museum to visit.
