dollar medallions?

["christopher beilby" <thelastbestgenius@xxxx>]

1. The Club apparently ran out of 300C medallions late 2003 - are there any 
plans to do a new batch, if so when and price please. The latest Club mag 
makes no mention re plans for these.

2. has anyone hotted up the 300C/392 motor?!
As well as headers etc, I am planning on putting stronger valve springs in 
to run higher rpms, and as my guides/valve stems are worn, and I have been 
advised to go for guides that are for narrower valve stems which will reduce 
valve weight, as is done on high rpm big block chevs, etc..
Anyone had any experiences re this, and also what Carter Carbs are best on 
the alloy Weind 2 4bbl manifold? A few years back I spoke with (US) Joe 
Reath re 392s, and he mentioned mods that were allowed/used for SK boat 
racing, how they/392s put out 550bhp at 7200 rpms with no durabilty problems 
in boats/racing.

3. what has happened re 'new 300' - no news seemingly anywhere.
Here in oz we have just seen landed our first Crossfires, but not yet in 
showrooms. Things pretty quiet here re new models, but sales wise Australia 
has just seen best sales year, volume wise, for new cars for near 20 years, 
this despite petrol/gas around $4.50 a gallon.

ps was that Martian Mars vehicle sending back gibberish as press claimed, or 
else was that really the Martians trying to tell George Bush how to run the 
World !!?? At least the second one looks like those little green men have 
not nobbled it too yet !?
