Awesome rodney Greg! Everything about it is outstanding!
The Nomad really had an impact on me though. Way back in the day I had a 55, 56, and a 57. The 55 had a screaming 301 with an Isky solid, 4 speed. That thing would rev to the moon. 7200 redline.
One day on the streets of San Diego being a foolish young man, I engaged in an illegal act with a Mustang. The streets were slightly wet. When I hit 2nd it spun of course, and all I remember was seeing the Sun tach somewhere north of 8200...lol
That was followed shortly by some disturbing noises coming from under the hood. Limped back home and took the valve covers off. To my horror (lol) I saw 6 pushrods poking through the stock stamped rockers. Ahh...the memories...
