Sorry Cuz, but I've never been a motorhead. I'd just as soon have the reliability and gas mileage. She scoots down the road just fine for me. I'm putting the tricks in the comfort and kool factor. Besides, as an old retired fart on a fixed income, my pockets ain't all that deep!

Oh, yeah. You've never seen how they sandwich a side mounted four banger front wheel drive engine and tranny into a vehicle, have ya? You MIGHT be able to stick a hamburger and fries under the hood, but you'd have to hunt around for a spot, I'll tell ya!

Dog - I grew in Daddy's Fab. Shop and there was an auto repair shop next door !- Just cause it says Ford on the outside don't mean it has to be Ford on da inside !-- Is there anything like that Chevy was it 283?- Oh !- No !-- 327 -- dat's the one !-- to big ?-- When all them pistons and valves are balanced and everything all polished out both those will scream !- Seen it !-- 57 Chevy I drove in high school had that 283 - Came over a hill doing about 120 and there was a log truck crawling along -- I knew the brakes wouldn't stop it in time so I started downshifting threw a piston right out the side of the engine !-
Had a 69 Camaro with the 283 bored 60 over.. That thing would burn the tires off. I could get a burn in 3rd gear.

I know that's right !- My girl friend had a blue - 68-69 - which one was that smooth classic Camaro ? Nice ride !-- never would race me !-- that rod put a hole in the side of that engine big as my fist !-- Figured it was time to join the Army before the peace talks fell apart and they started the draft back up !-- Went to a year long party in Korea !-- Then got escorted out of the country after I missed my plane the third time !--

Big Bro's second vehicle was a '65 goat. 389, hooker headers, John's 12:1 pistons and a factory three duce carb setup.
Came home and grabbed me one day and ask me to try and see what his car was doing. He claimed when he punched it at 25-35, the steering would get funny. He dropped me off down the road, spun around and came back. When he went past, I heard him hit it. Damned front wheels were off the ground at least four inches.
He didn't believe me. Said it couldn't happen with a stock steel front end.
It did.
Me? I was smoking and selling dope and driving cars that looked like your grandmother drove. Doesn't paid to get noticed sometimes.

while i was in the navy i had two cars, one was a 68 caprice 2 door short top very warmed up 396. the police couldn't catch it and i kept it on base. one night at a party they found it and took it. said no way in hell i would ever get it back. so i got a 72 javelin with the amx package, it had a 360 go package and it would run with the caprice, one bad little car. i still have a few toys but money has been tight so i haven't done a lot to them as of late.
on another note another set back. just got back from my doctor and that tick bite from a month ago. well i have been sore and aching with a head ache. turns out i have the rocky mountain spotted fever. i start my meds tomorrow. told me to stay in the cool so i went and watered my plants. news says 98º but the sign in town says 105º.
