The Metric System
Airplane ditches and crashes have been blamed on choosing the wrong conversion factors by fuel truck operators. The planes just ran out of fuel. I doubt I will ever get on another plane.
I'm comfortable in either system but riddle me this; If you bore a 360 out to wait-for it....... 4.04 inches;you get a 367.14 cuber. What's that in metric? 6.0162525 liters. And a stock 5.9 Magnum is 5.897709. What the heck; try telling your friends you have a 6.02 .. What's that? NOT!, Yur gonna call it a 367......
Just like I call my bored out 360, a 367.(It's actually a 368, but I pulled a Chebby on it. For a few years, they called their 402s ,396s.) IMO, I thought 367 had a better ring to it; and besides, it's actually a 6 liter now; so don't call it no steenkink 5.9; and don't even compare it to a 5.57, everybody knows those were the bomb. No Sir, it's a legitimate 6l,lol.
