cubes.. spun till you won and blow it up eventually then
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!
