thats funny as hell I had a 66 chevelle with a staight 6 in it did the same thing while a 283 waiting to go it set close by...the thing wouldn't blow up so we drained the oil and drove it down town and did burn outs with it all night till the gas tank was empty...last I knew that 6 was running a ski lift as a back up motor....and 3 days after the transplant we got T boned by a Bonniville the 283 ended up in a half dozen Vegas with a power slide behind it
