    Haha, too true. A few months ago I saw a guy pull up to the ace hardware in town in a vintage ford coupe, and I noticed right away that he had a ford small block (first giveaway was the equal exhaust header spacing at the head, then I checked the dizzy location and yup, it's in front). So I walked up to him and shook his hand and said "you just don't meet enough of you guys with FORD engines still in your FORD, I commend you" and he stared at me with a blank stare and said "I'm amazed anyone your age could even tell!"

    I'm thinking about a '33 build and would like to drop a flat-head V-8 in it or an early '50s "Y" block.

    I'm not getting gray, I'm adding chrome....

    “Under-steer is when you hit the wall with the front of the car and over-steer is when you hit the wall with the rear of the car. Horsepower is how fast you hit the wall and torque is how far you take the wall with you.”
