I figured that there would be more to it, but that's just the basics of our conversation.

I am pondering the thought on putting a 383 stroker in my '72. I guess you could say that I just haven't grown up yet. I still like having my head pulled back against the rear glass when you punch the pedal to the floor.

I just purchased another '72 and the PO said the engine threw a rod. I made the "I wish I had a 383 stroker" comment to my buddy, and he said, "Well, you've got the start of one sitting right here in front of you w/the '72 you just bought. Tear it down and do it!"
