BoMac Racing

An ad for BoMac Racing from Start & Speed Nr 3 1966.

In 1967, Björn Ramsten upgraded the tired 235 inline-six in his 1957 Chevrolet to a 283 with a four-barrel Carter carburetor. Still craving more power, he soon acquired this 327 short block—complete with high-compression pistons and a Z28 camshaft from Bosse Kasby at BoMac Racing. “It probably came from a Corvette or a Camaro,” Björn recalled. He loaded the short block into the trunk and drove it home to install in the car. Photo from The Björn Ramsten Collection.

BoMac Racing of Älvsjö in Stockholm, Sweden. Run by Bosse Kasby and his brother Ove, BoMac Racing was the only place you could order hot rod parts from the US in the early days of Swedish hot rodding.

In the age of only 16, Bosse moved to the US in the 1950s, where he went on to work for Dean Moon at Moon Equipment in Santa Fe Springs in California.
Ove got a dealership licence and started out selling racing-parts, that Bosse shipped from the US, out of his garage in Älvsjö.
The garage and shop was at their home at Vallvägen 36. The need for parts in Sweden was extensive and the order book full of well-known names as customers.
After a while Ove moved to Huddinge, where he built an enormous garage. He also ran a tow-truck company from that garage. Björn Wallman worked for Ove, and he lived in a playhouse at Ove's property. After selling a Shell gas station he owned in Johanneshov, Ove bought a farm in Österlen, Skåne. He eventually sold the farm and moved to England and then to Ireland. Bosse continued to run the BoMac company until 1963, when he instead went racing with his imported professionally built Chevrolet Impala 409 ci on tracks around Sweden.
