    I had a blast these last 3 days. Harold had me laughing more than Buddy (I think?) The guy coming in the shop wanting me to let him borrow $10 for gas was a trip. He had me going until y'all told me different.

    Absolute coolness!!! .... :bowdown:


    Lots of room for headers. This would be a good thing for anyone thinking of swapping to a 351-based motor.
