Paul

Nah...  no way!   

[rare396bronze]

Nothing like a sound of a healthy rat to get your morning going!

[VINCE Z28]

Wonder if these two are related to Clyde...

[Mike S]

 Being a big block fan, I have your back, Darrell.
The Z guys are just jealous because guys like us have a BIG one 

[69Z28-RS]

A big.....?...    "Imagination"...        

[aerialpacer]

Your car is lovely!

[cook_dw]

Right turn, Clyde -

I was wondering if anyone would get the movie reference..



And thanks guys. 


Mike, we big block guys have to stick together on this predominantly 69 small block / Z forum..

Answer:   Torque.

Answer:   Torque.

Don't forget that couple hundred POUNDS of weight on the front end ... 

[cook_dw]

They added the weight to the engine to help keep the front wheels on the ground from all the torque..   

[BSMIT59]

But Darrell while you're torquing up and holding down lil 302 done gone screamed away......far away down the track

[cook_dw]

[dino67]

Very nice Darrell. No replacement for displacement.

[1968RSZ28]

No replacement for displacement.

Correct, as long as the displacement does not exceed 302 cubic inches!!!

Paul

[cook_dw]

   You guys really have bought in to the 302 urban legend..

'Being this is a Big Block Chevy, the most powerful engine in the world, it will blow your doors clean off. You just gotta ask yourself - do you feel lucky ? Well do you, PUNK ?'

Sorry, the "Every Which Way But Loose" got me started. Now if I could remember "Any Which Way You Can" my evening would be complete.

Steve, you forget a very important part of the quote, "Did he throw two rods or only one?" Well to tell you the truth in all this excitement I kinda lost track myself."

[z28z11]

I thought it was "did I fire 6, or only 5 (and so on). Big uns usually won't pitch 'em unless you get way over that 6500 mark often. I've got a nice windowed JH that mirrors that, where the piston took a "right turn, Clyde". Literally -

I thought every day was a big block kind of day.

I thought every day was a big block kind of day.

Yup, if you go fishing every day and need an anchor!
