No the kid is going to put it in a big ol' 71 Chevelle. I told him for that car it needs a big block and to put the strocker motor in a Luv just like his brother did.

And for a couple of thousand more dollars he could have bought himself a 572 crate engine for all the money he spent on that one.

True, the 572 has more HP and torque than that one, in the 600's even.

I came into work today and I saw Beau's Chevelle there. I guess he is getting his engine compartment sandblasted. He sure puts lots of money into that car. :lol:
