Chevy engines seem to be indestructable, a friend of mine from college has
been trying to kill his old and not quite what it used to be 350 in his Nova
but it just wont die.
The 327 that I used to have in my Impala with 188K+ miles would still roar
and fly down the street when ever I floored the gas, use too much oil for
my budget though. I sold it and the guy who bought it over bored it .060"
and it lives once again, he loves that engine.
