I guess I'm going to find a local job now cause I need the gas money.
Impressive.

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.

Over 16mpgs for a 350ci/auto trans/3500# brick is impressive for a carb set-up.
