Thunder..Wilder,
Tom Tate was Caselli's crew chief. His motors were built by a guy named Zuess or Zuezl or Zhuez....something like that. It started with a Z. I should know that bit of trivia, but three days at work gets short on sleep and shorter on memory.

Hey guy's, the engine builder your lookin' for is Dave Zuechel. I was aquainted with Dave in my early days of drag racin' out at Skiland in Perris and the Stadium (Oakland and L.B.) "Zuech" was from the S.F.Valley and did some very famous ol drag boats besides Caselli's. He did the motor in "CITATION", the TFH that Don Pruhdome drove and ultimatly destroyed at the Stadium. Dave was a great guy and really knew his stuff especially the 392 Chryslers that ruled the fuel catigories in the "good ol days". Dave was big time into aircraft engines and planes in general, he was killed in an airplane accident in the late 70's or early 80's as I try to remember the dates. Too good of guy to loose so early in his life, we all were shorted by his passing.

I do remember after the Casseli crash he said he would not build anymore boat motors, infact I think it was Andree's motor in Rays boat, don't know for sure.
