Oh crap. That brings back bad memories. Sorry to hear that.

edit: on second look at the video, at least it still seems to rev up pretty well considering its slapping a rod around.

Sorry to hear, Paul, hope that it is not as bad as you think that it is, and I hope that you and it are back on the road soon.

383 that bitch, or if you can afford it go 396 SB (3.875 crank). I've got the right flex hone and an engine stand you can borrow indefinitely. Just order a small base circle cam, bust out the dremel tool and start clearancing that block!

544 is a waste of time. Go big or go home. 632.

Or TEN.

I am on a second gen Camaro web site and we have a thread called Crappic Industries, that has over 1200 replies . I know 2 other people that used to work at CI and they hated working the phones, because of all the complaint calls. My local Camaro Club took them off our preferred vender list.

Their "sales" are a joke. I would get a 20% "discount" card in the mail. When I tried to order anything over ten bucks, I was told the discount didn't apply, because the price in the book was already a "sale " price ( even though the price in the book has been the same for 3 years) They SUCK , and nobody will convince me otherwise.:nutkick:

You bastard. I think this was prob the most intricate april fools setup I've seen on the site, props to you.


I've set the camera behind my friends Evo before and fired up the Vette. The cammed V8 and the centrifugal blower whine at idle seemed a tad out of place. But the video looked good.

You got me too, but when I watching the video I thought the knocking sounded rather mild.

The Camry sounded way worse in person. The Camaro drowned it out a little.

It is broke bad. Ran it out of oil (2years since last oil change). I set this up weeks ago. As soon as I heard it I thought " I got a idea ! " Notice how heavy my layers are. It was freezing cold that day !
