Hopefully when it strikes, you don’t ignore the deal like I did about 15 years ago.
I was putting my ‘74 Twister together and as a broke teenager I was trying to pinch pennies but wanted performance. I responded to an Ad for a 413 with a 727 bolted to it.... Went and looked at it and the seller wanted $200 for the engine/transmission “I don’t even know if it runs and it probably gets horrible mileage with those dual 4 barrels.”
Can you see where this is going? ...... it had the longtube crossram intake on it!
Like an idiot, I passed on the deal (I didn’t know what it was at the time), because my Dodge D50 pickup needed a clutch, so I used the money I had saved to buy a clutch instead. The motor died in the D50 6 months later anyway.
