sometimes I wonder....

Been counters. Save a dollar times millions of cars sold equals profits even when it comes to safety lawsuit vs cost of upgrade. I wish they drop the /6 in the mid sixties along with your wish of dropping the 7 1/4. I never got the motor mount thing and that one advantage of Chev is the common bellhousing. But over all I think Chrysler is better at parts swapping than Chev is look at the wiper motor on my 65 cuda when they stop using it the mid nineties lol
