Dave----I have some sayings I use quite often

I'm just an Illinois farm boy
Tractor motors need straight round holes
I'm just an old drag racer
Dragster engines need straight round holes
I'm just an old jet pilot who used to drag race

The crankshaft doesn't know what the valve cover says
(so don't worry about the chevy/ford thing)

New one -----187 beats 184

Got it????

I once built 3 identical short blocks for me and two of my friends---the boring bar slipped on mine and I had to go bigger to save it---My 522 always outran there 496s---and I just happened to have a set of pistons when one of them hurt there their 496
