Yes it's the big block that the Tonawanda plant was producing. As far as I know they were the only plant still producing that engine. And I agree about the street rod thing. I have nothing against Chevy engines but they belong in Chevies.

It makes me sick when I go to a show and see so many of the old rods with the 350 in it. It doesn't cost that much more to use a 302 or 360 crate motor in them, but being original not in their vocabulary.

It was a tongue-in-cheek (wishful thinking) comment. But maybe lack of 350 as a new engine may steer some of the street rod fans to use a Mopar motor, at least in a Mopar street rod. :) Thanks, Gary H. -----Original Message----- >Nice thought Gary, but do not see it happening in our life time,,,,,,The >Poly is over 40 years old, and still being used,,,,,am sure that there are a >lot more chebbies laying out there, as well as the aftermarket for them, >however what is this going to do to some of the race cars where the >requirements for class must be current production engine > > >In a message dated 12/20/2009 11:07:02 A.M.
