Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.

Re: bought a 72 f*rd shorty explorer

That is a nice truck. I still kick myself in the rear end for not buying a beautiful black 1970 Sport Custom short bed at Pomona a few years back. The guy was practically giving it away, and it was sweet. But I knew my wife (now ex wife) would have a fit. She was good at doing that.

I passed on a numbers matching Hemi Charger for the same reason. It was something like $11,000.

Now I look at the prices on those. It would be like having another 401K.
