    Old days racing question

    Maybe you need to re-phrase the question to something like "winning national events with non-hemis". Then the answer would be mid-seventies, Jim Bucher (BBChevy) being the last.

    Snake! back yard.

    When I was a teenager, a buddy of mine used to go back in the bush up behind Maple Ridge to this old dump from the turn of the century, dig up old bottles & stuff, sell them to the antique stores. One winter night we are in there, and decide to head back because it is getting dark. On the way...

    Super Quick Engine Removal

    Those Super Stock pullers are INCREDIBLE. WAY cooler than the unlimiteds if you are into weird engine tech. The amount of boost they hammer through those things is unbelievable.

    A-bodies I found this weekend.

    LOL! Yea, couldn't see that part in the first pic. Looks pretty solid though. Guess I have a good eye, SE Alberta & Eastern Idaho are pretty close. Really, if the Demon is as solid as it looks, thats a pretty good deal, body work and all. Aren't there re-pop tailight panels available for those...

    Run of luck, now a fire

    4x4s are not too expensive right now, what with the recession and all. Hopefully, you will get enough to get a decent replacement.

    What would YOU do?

    This is a tough one. On the one hand, I have ordered & shipped alotof stuff through the mail, & sometimes it can take a LOT longer than you normally expect. But in my experience, EVERY time I, or one of my friends has been burned, the first sign of trouble is when the communication stops. I...

    dodge vs. plymouth???

    68 hemi cudas seem to tell the Darts that pretty regularly. If you look at what has held the SS/A record back over the last 20 years, the Cudas outnumber the Darts three to one. 3" shorter wheelbase is pretty substaintial when the diference is measured in hundreths.

    Don't kill me!

    Im inclined to agree. honestly, I prefered it in the eighties when Mopars WERENT flavour of the week. Parts/cars were cheaper than chevies in those days. I was buying up early 440s at $100 a crack.

    Crane Cams being sold to the highest bidder

    Well, its been pretty badly managed for the last few years, Harvey left a LONG time ago, & it was being run by a bunch of non-automotive type suits. The situation has been brewing for quite some time, but its still damned unfortunate.

    Crane Cams being sold to the highest bidder

    Dont think its being sold to the highest bidder per-se, its being auctioned off piecemeal. In other words, Crane no longer exists. This actually started about a month ago. They had been trying to sell it for some time, laid everyone off & closed the doors about a month ago.Damn shame.

    guess what's in the box!!! puzzle just for memike

    We were over at my moms last night for Easter dinner, & they were telling a story about their old border collie & the cat. These two were the best of pals, but the dog used to always play the same trick on the cat. He would wait until the cat was sound asleep on one of the kitchen chairs, then...
