    WTH?
    I am imagining they replaced a 200 with a blown 429 Boss semi hemi.
    The 200 then had a chain welded to it and it was used as a boat anchor...literally.

    Hot Rod article

    No, they had much more fun than using it as a boat anchor ...

    You have to read it, it will be much more fun than me giving you the Cliff's Notes version.

    (y)

    I'm sure it will hit the newstands in the next week.

    Hot Rod article

    No, I don't have stock in Peterson Publishing, scratch that, ... Primedia, or whoever owns them this week. I have been a subscriber for at least 37 years though ... I probably should be given a piece of the company.
    :biglaugh:

    It is a VERY entertaining story. I could not tell it nearly as well here as the article itself. It would be like someone telling the outline to a joke and then giving away the punchline. Suddenly not funny.

    Trust me ... go to the store and read it there if you don't want to buy it. But I bet you will want it ...

    :yup:
