Mcgurk Sprinter 1950 Socks
Description: Frank McGurk was a race car driver in the '30s and '40s, but had so many innovative ideas for pulling more performance out of engines, he became an engineer to implement them himself. While his work started earlier after his service during WWII, he formally founded McGurk Engineering in 1950 in Gardena, California. Designing everything from cams and manifolds to heads and rocker assemblies, McGurk was a talented engineer who specialized in small block V8 and inline 6 bow tie mills, the latter of which were extremely popular with sprint car racers, while the V8s were the hot ticket for drag racers and hot rodders. McGurk worked until 1969 when he sold the company, but remained active in the racing community until is death in 1982.
