That really floored me as he doesn't even have a Chevy. He has a '58 Ford Retractable 'vert w/ 3X2's. a '66 Fairlane 4spd 3x2's and a '70 'Cuda 318 'vert. They are immaculate BUT he says he never takes them over 5200rpm's????Naw he's still a friend but his opinion has become dubious at best.Rich Kinsley '64 Dodge Polara 4dr 324 poly w/goodies

When La Roar is back on it's feet again, race him for pinks. That usally shuts up the chevy guys. Glad you got some good news on your motor.
