My bad I've got some wrong info above. The 300 engine is a 64 Buick engine that is cast iron block and aluminum head engine. Same basic design as the 215 Buick. The Olds version of the 215 had 6 bolt holes per cylinder, the Buick version only had 5. The 300 Buick went to 4 bolts per...

The block shown has an extra head bolt hole on the outside of each cylinder. The GM 215 blocks did not have that head bolt hole. The crank for the 300 is excellent to stroke the 215 but some machining is required. There's some excellent articles out there one I recall is by D&D something...

Both Buick and Olds had a 215ci engine ending in 63. The 64 Olds 300 is a cast iron block with Alum heads which will bolt on to replace the 215 heads. The 300 heads have larger ports and flow more and have larger valves. The block shown is a Rover block. They changed the block to add...

It was neat, 10 mins to Germany, 10 mins to Belgium. Altho I'm not a big F1 fan one year we went to Monoco Grand Prix and one year attended the Belgium Grand Prix at Zolder where we rented a sleeping place on the racetrack grounds. My boys and I will always remember some good times there.

The NATO organization I was in was moved from Brussels to Heerlen upon approval of the NATO AWACS program. Moved into a new building which was built on AFCENT. 13 NATO countries had members in the organization. Really neat to deal with mostly senior officers which were assigned to the...

I was stationed in Brussels and southern Holland in the 78 to 82 period. During that time we had at least 5 visits from family groups and everyone had a blast. People are still talking about those visits and claiming they were one of the highlights of their life. Go with an open mind and you...

If anyone finds the 61 AHRA Nationals I would sure like to see it to see if my car shows up. Let me know if one is available!! Thanks, Max

Will be 83 in Nov. The longest we have owned a Mopar is from 1982 when I bought my youngest son a 73 Cuda which was well worn. We restored it and he used it as a daily driver for several years. It's currently stored and he plans on another restoration of it in the future. Other Mopars we own...

Wait until you have to take 5 of them per day!!

Don't skimp on the insurance. One of my wife nephews bought a cabinet door business from her brother, going business made a ton of money. Recently after one of the Louisiana storms his insurance raised his rates after paying for his damage. He thought it was too much so he cancelled...

My Dr recommended it for my pain but I never did buy any.

A few years ago a guy in my state started making A Body FG parts. His prices were good and his first products were apparently good quality. He started getting so many orders that he got behind more and more. In trying to catch up his quality started falling off and it wasn't too long before...

Supersonic does not have a very good record in the US. It should definitely be better in modern times. Remember the SR-71 was built in the 60's and we lost almost 1/3 built. Traveling at that speed is exciting but I believe it will be many years before it is commercially viable. Just wait...

Avispa, what plane is that?

The other morning I walked out on my patio and a 7" green turtle was backed up against the patio digging a hole. I moved away because I didn't want to scare her. I checked later and she had laid the eggs and covered them up. A couple days later I noticed that something had been around the...

Years ago I looked at a houseboat in a marine yard in Huntsville, AL which had two 340's in it. They were there to have them rebuilt.

Like others I also think Huntsville is a nice area!! I've lived in all corners of this country and a few places in between. I spent 10 yrs in Huntsville and we would have probably stayed but my 2 boys ended up living in Louisiana so we retired close to them. A concern about Huntsville is it's...

Because I like it!!!!~

My first car was given to me by the Manager of the finance co that financed all my Father's used car lot cars. It was a 46 Ford 4dr which had bad bearings. I spent $39 on it sold it for $50 and immediately bought a slick 48 Ford Coupe for $200. It just grew from there. Since my Father owned...

I had a Winchester lever action with a hammer back in the 50's. If I remember correctly my father traded a military carbine for it. I loved it as long as I could keep it working. Shop could not get parts and had to make a certain part that kept wearing out. I can't remember what I did with it.

Yesterday my wife sister in law was told that her test results shows that she has the virus. Probably caught it at church last Sunday along with several others. She is at home but we are concerned not only about her but also about the other members of the household that must take care of her...

My Father was a B-25 pilot during WWII mainly in the Pacific during late stages of the war. I wore his boots and flight jacket hunting for many years because they were made for that cold temp. He was a small guy about 5'6" and I don't believe ever weighed much over 140. I haven't flown in one...

That's what I though I have one my father bought from the govt in either 44 or 45. It was brand new in cosmoline. It was a skeet cylinder bore. Killed many a bird with that gun. Remington Model 11 based on a Browning patent.

As long as people are involved there will be mistakes. I ordered 2 track locator kits from one of the excellent chassis shops and in both kits all heim joints were right handed threads. People error. They immediately shipped the required left handed units when I called. I usually use Jegs...

Well, I knew I was one of the oldest on here at 79 and I guess I may have also been married the longest. July 21st of 2019 will be 57 years and with both of us in pretty good health it will probably be many more!!

GM did the Fiero just like they did the Corvair. The last yr of production was the best and definitely had the best suspension. 88 had great suspension. Many engine swaps have been sucessful. I always thought a Northstar would make a great transplant. If you don't plan on any body panel...
