    If I may, allow me please to remind you of a basic tenet of the hobby: keeping these old machines running. The 301 was freshly rebuilt about ten years ago. It had maybe two months of service, before the firebird got hit, and it's been sitting waiting for the last decade or so. That 301 has just as much right to slug out another eighty thousand miles as does a 350.

    There is more than a singular standard for performance. The bloody car will go plus ninety now, that 301 is going to make it plain scat. It's not getting built for the strip.

    And...

    I get to answer the questions:

    Why?
    You did what?

    Education is expensive. Keep that in mind, and you'll never be terribly upset when a project goes awry.

    Actually, after thinking about the idea a bit more, I like it. The "What the bleep" factor alone is worth it. Good luck, and I for one would like to see the progress.
