It's much easier to promise someone a "free" ride on the wagon than to urge them to pull it.
Luck occurs when preparation and opportunity converge.

Thanks! I'm quite sure I added to it and or created a lot of it. I promise to behave better this time! Originally Posted by mrmustang

Well, I seem to remember that you and I got along great, so I'm very glad to see you back on Club Hot Rod. I remember the 700+ horsepower SBC we put together on the Dyno-Sim. Stuff like that is great fun for me. Originally Posted by Dave Severson

I've still got that Dyno Sim specs and parts list stashed away, never now when I might need a big horse mouse motor! I'm really impressed the the mod motor Fords and trying to learn more about them. Been to the dyno shop to see some pulls on a few of them, some awesome numbers for power at the wheels! Do you suppose GM will eventually get around to putting cams in the heads and get rid of all that valve train clutter? Originally Posted by techinspector1

You know, I had a very good friend in Phoenix who was pretty savvy about business and such. He stated more than one time that none of the auto manufacturers would add 50 cents worth of nickel to the mix for the cylinder blocks to make a better motor, because 2 million motors would equal 1 million dollars, so I suppose that no, GM will not get on the stick with anything that will cost money.

I see you have a 82 Camaro listed on your vehicle list. What's the story on that car? I recently picked up an 82 Z28 for cheap late this summer.Seth

Well, my friends named that one WAC (wild ass camaro) a few years back, and all I've done is a few body mods!!!!!! It's destined for a back half build and a big block. I'll get some recent pictures if it ever warms up again. For now, it seems to have found a permanent spot on my "round to it" list..... Originally Posted by 53 Chevy5

Kind of a pro stock thing then ? I've been liquidating some of my larger projects lately, right or wrong it sure does shorten the things to do list.Seth

yeah, kind of that pro street look, but with 9" of engine setback and a ton of body mods! People just shouldn't leave me alone in the shop with no adult supervision and this stuff wouldn't happen!!! Originally Posted by 53 Chevy5

Tech: I have no doubt that you are correct about the cost narrative reference to nickel in engine blocks, but I expect it goes further. Cars are designed to wear out accomodate new sales. Detroit doesn't want an engine block that will last a million miles. Just like light bulb manufacturers don't want a light bulb that never burns out.
Designed obsolescence..
Education is expensive. Keep that in mind, and you'll never be terribly upset when a project goes awry.
