go get another one.. those were the days.. less opitions
less money and to me no worries cause you knew what

LOL The summer after I graduated high school (1985) I went through 4 or 5 junkyard 455s racing my Firebird! I'd hurt it on Friday night, be at the yard Sat morning, looking for running Bonnevilles/Catalinas, swap my carb/intake/Crane "Fireball" cam/3-tube headers & Purple Hornies, and be back out Sat night! I still remember my Dad telling me not to rev it like the kids with the SBCs!
Now I have a 4" stroke 440 so that I can!
