you never know, lotsa funny things could've happened... in spinning to 4K, the crank could have stretched, causing it to grow from its normal 3.48" to 3.75 or more... and with the added stroke, the pistons had to go somewhere, so the bore enlarged to 4"... that would transform that weak little 305 to a 383 in no time. yeah, sure, and my trucks are all rust free too.

I could burn my tire (no posi) all day long but try to explain to the wife (or whoever holds the checkbook) that you need a new tire once a month?

Hey Tom do you have a way of putting video online, from a video camera? I have some cool parking lot videos of a Firebird.

all I see from the 77 is blue smoke out of the pipes. Time for a rebuild of the 400
