10 Jun 97 10:48, Hey Rocky! Elvis Hargrove pulled 396 outta his hat!:
 EH>
 ->> Funny, I remember them screaming while they were still 265's...Ask
 ->> any Ford owner of that era. Or (chuckle) Mopar owner..BTW, the first
 EH> Ate those 312 "thunderbird" engines ALIVE!  The 272's and 292's were
 EH> called Chevy Candy......
And that's why the Y-block was a short production run, spanning only a few 
years and the SB chevy is still with us..what, 47 years now..
 EH> I had a hot 259 Studebaker Hawk that could run with them on the
 EH> highway but that long wheelbase (120") sucker couldn't get off the
 EH> line with 'em and by second gear the 265's were almost outa
 EH> sight!
 Hey Elvis, that's only 5 inches longer than a Bel Air...could it have been 
the weight?
 EH>  The 265" Chev HT with a Carter WCFB and duals was the best
 EH> running car on the road at the time.  Next best was that '49 '50
 EH> Olds coupe that y'all were talking about last week.  When that thing
 EH> came out the Texas Hiway Patrol was still running 48 Ford flatheads.
 EH> Talk about a JOKE! Still couldn't outrun that dang two way though..
Yeah, those Motorola's were as fast as the speed of light...
... A clean, neat, desk is a sign of a sick mind.
