      😁 Those dinky little engines were tough, run forever.

      Mine was a chevy pickup with the Straight-6 and three on the tree.

          Not a fan of cars personally, but I love seeing others chatting about something they clearly enjoy, and I love this conversation between you two.

          My dream car is a Chevelle with the straight-six, Brazilian turbo manifold, and a mega squirt computer. One day, maybe.

          230 straight-six is my favorite engine.

            Bundle of snakes for the intake? I had to look that one up. I figured it wasn’t a wax and shave for the engine bay. Good ECM choice, super customizable. Don’t stop looking. You never know when deals show up. I’m 2 years in and nowhere near finished, just got to keep waiting for the right prices. Better slow than never.
