Idioit Engine Experts

Back in the late 60's I witnessed a guy I knew do a wheelie in a parking lot. Car? was a 27 T "telephone booth" with a 283 stovebolt in it and NO wheelie bars. VERRY short wheelbase, car went over backwards and crashed the back of the roof on the pavement. Never saw him again.

Wow, that had to be embarrassing!!

I know a guy that wants to pull the 5.0 EFI engine out of his T-Bird and drop in a 351W turd that just has a Holley carb on it. Says it will make a lot more power......The thing is he won't be able to drive it any more 'cause of emissions testing.

He got a set of used 200HP heads for the 351. Real grungy. I told him make sure that you clean them good enough that you can lick them, after he got them on you could scoop the crap out with your fingers. But he gained 200 HP!!!

Lots of Chevy dip sh!ts here with wheel standing cars too.
