What kind of car do you drive?

[cobravnm13]

I would beg to differ

I'm not saying it was aliens...bit it was aliens.

I love Chevys!!!!! Finally got my 355 running. Sucker is a beast!

Helps knowing resources like Pelican parts, Sunset Porsche (dealership with excellent pricing) as well as online forums such as Rennlist... I'm fine buying OE/Manufacturer Approved Porsche parts. Owning a Porsche doesn't necessarily mean a high price point, especially when it comes to the *simpler* air-cooled 911s. Being mechanically inclined and doing your own work whenever possible is not only cost savings, but personally rewarding as well.

You wanna talk about doing your own work? I know how much money it saves :thumbup:

Ford 302/351 no better small blocks out there. The 302 has been beating that GM 350 for over 20yrs....

Eh, to each their own. I love working on my Chevy. When it's not being a female dog, that is. My entire family on my mom's side are into Fords. My "uncle" on my dad's side is a circle track racer, so he's a Chevy guy. If anyone can build a motor, he can. I'd love to start racing...

BUT, I wouldn't mind having a '67/'68 Shelby Fastback.

Lol yeah. My dream car is a 1970 Dodge Charger with a 440. Blown, preferably.

Oops, wrong thread. I only got a'69 charger. Little old 383 (revs about 2000 rpm higher than a 440)
Never could bring myself to cut about 1000 pounds of metal off of it to get the ET's down.
383 car knife edge crank 11.5 TRW pistons. .320/620 roller cam weiland tunnel ram dual Holley 660's ( dual feed) chrome everything braided steel lines everywhere. Money pit from hell. P O's me when people bug my butt why I don't drive it.

Drool.....

 

[cobravnm13]

I'd love to put a 383 stroker in my truck.

 

[lloydstrans]

I want 444 stroker, so I can put my matching number hood back on and have it look stock.

 

[cobravnm13]

Make it look stock and unsuspecting?

 

[lloydstrans]

Still don't relish the thought of driving it, not many OE parts left to put them back together again.

I used to tune bikes in my garage at night and came to the conclusion that bikes that make more noise only do that well. A 105 decibel bike will run a 15 second quarter mile, a 110 decibel bike will run a 20 second quarter mile. My vacuum cleaner bike will run a 11.23 all day. Moral of the story loud butt poo only gives the appearance of going fast.

Haha, yeah. I only like loud engines if they have the power to back it up.
