jerry could start using (ATOI) which stands for at time of inspection.our quality control people used this alot at our freightliner plant to cover their butts as the trucks came down the line

does the motor vin match the dash? i was under the impression that all big block cars had to be ss which then the ss badge would take over the rs badges .that is until yenko and the rest of the copos came along in 69. i could be wrong though

it looks like the gov.politicians would let those employees keep there jobs in some small way. so they can help the rest of us pay the ridiculous deficit and other wasteful spending they love to do so much.

im sure the baltimore mayor will not be the only politician to have to answer for crimes against our nation on judgement day.our country is very different today than it was twenty years ago its a shame to see it steadly going down hill. i wonder if the value of our big blocks will increase in the future because of the plant closing?

does anyone think that a MO 302 would add just as much value to a car as the original l48? that was what i did when i found out my wifes 68rsss l48 didnt have its original born with engine.i thought if i didnt have the original then the most expensive sbc was the mo 302 to keep the cars value as high as posiible.was that the wrong way to look at the situation?
