The end is near for Hot Rod Magazine
Subscribed to Hot Rod back in the '80's. Sort of disappointed at all the Chevy stuff. They did feature a '71 Hemi Road Runner with a clear plexiglass hood insert. If I recall correctly and that's a big "if". Anyway, it got one page in the magazine and one photo that was black and white.
The real kicker was their "Miserly Mouse". They wanted to see how much gas mileage they could get using a 350 Chevy engine.
o.k. this ought to be interesting. For their vehicle, they picked a
'38 Chevy ??. Some big honkin', bulbous nose car. And they put 60 series tires on the back. What a bunch of clowns.
Almost subscribed recently, when they did a series of dyno tests on the effect of camshaft LSA. They put an engine on the dyno and ran it. I think it may have been a Mopar 318. Anyway, they made camshaft changes with the only change being LSA. A legitimate test. Interesting.
Maybe it isn't fair for me to hold such a disdain for 40 years but, I can't help it.
