On the other hand that motor looks like you care.Maybe it was
Granddad's, or just looks to me like country kid doin' somethin'
besides sightin' his deer rifle on a stop sign. You'll get that motor
"scienced out", and you may decide to go big in the pickup.Then
it'll be perfect in a Vega,Monza,or an old Chevy Luv pickup. A lot
of folks I know have had a fast "beater" they called the "weed-
hopper" or some such to go jump terraces in a cow pasture,and
run from the sheriff after the football game.Like the man said"15
and no rice". Welcome from other newguy.

I mean no harm and I did not mean to sound cranky but, I guess I did.

I just wanted to steer him in the right direction so he did not fail like I did. When I was 15, I bought a non running '83 MB 240D, and had plans to stuff a 350 Chevy in it, bought a wrecked '81 Impala for the donor, it actully had a 267, did not know that when I handed the 75 bucks over for it, I rushed into this project because I later learned a SBC would not fit in without major modification, stuff I could not do, so I junked the Impala and I junked the MB after I stripped it of it's good parts, in the end, I was only 375 bucks wasted but, it was a waste of my time.
