sometimes I wonder....

'at's occurred to some of the rest of us. How about the mounting ears on SB? And the stupid "some blocks had em" front bolt tapping for the C barg / A body big block mount?

Why did they make the 904 shorter than the 727, and then follow suit with A body 4 speeds?

I'll tell ya. "Bow tie" has had their fair share. Sometime in the late seventies / eighties, some Shovits came out with NO rad drain and NO block drains. Some of the small V6 cars were a real ***** to change plugs. Mechanics found a way, but the "official line" was to jack up the engine. GM had their share of flat cams at least in SB V8s. o

The Chevy II stickshift / clutch linkage 'special engine block" was a rather doozie, doncha think?

I've forgotten more, thank the Lord
