    Big Three? It's soon going to be the Big Two: Ford and Toyota! I guess you folks have to work during the day but I watch Fox Business News during the day and Chrysler is very likely to disappear and GM will too unless the UAW takes stock in retirement. Gee I really like those old SBCs and early Caddy V8s, but you better get your hemi now before it is too late! I too regret to see Joe Gibbs running Toyotas but you have to admit multimillion dollar teams will be hard to support if GM is bankrupt and Joe probably made a good survival move. As Bob said above at least Toyota did their homework to develop a pushrod V8. I used to be a real Fordnatic but too many years of that long SBF water pump (before aftermarket pumps were available) switched me to SBC fandom. There ought to be a few million 350s out there somewhere to keep us going until NASCAR allows electric cars????, Naaa, they are too quiet! Pretty amazing how a car can stop exactly on an air hose, eh? P.S. it was daffy427 who mentioned the Toyota pushrod engine development.
