In '96... no shop in fresno ever mentioned a sonic tester. Back then i had a pile of slant cores and Art Sheddler had no problem cutting out of curiosity himself. No one was hotrodding 225's in town back then. There was only 1 hyper pack in town in an old 62 police cruiser valiant.. or at least it was made to be a cop car. I bought all my parts from the dealership on Blackstone ave..when they had catalogs full of stuff for them still. You could have bought a ported head for 1000.00, scrapers...the old but not very old days..I miss.
