I woke up @ 3 am yesterday. finally found a real doctor In Portland, Or.- Yea, it was a cross country trip. returned home @ 11:30 pm. God i hate needles!- Walked out of the hospital about 4pm- bout 1/2 dizzy- guess what was parked next to my car? A Dodge r-t- mint. - on the hood- 440 6 pak. factory yellow-white leather- thought i was dreaming or worse!- I could not drive for a while anyways- so-- i sat in the shade -ate food-and waited.- bout 1 hour later- here comes this dude- bout 50 years old.-by this time- the food had kicked in- was back to Alfreds usual self. Asked the dude- this a show car?- Says -no, i drive it. - Opon hearing this- i started to slobber like a starving dog- 47 k miles- popped the hood- you could eat off the monster.headers- full MSD ignition-- Wanna listen to it?- He lights this up- the pavement shook, i could feel it- about 550 foot lbs of torque. Asked the dude- you wrench on this?- says no, i hire this dude- It smelled rich- asked- this puppy ever back fire?- says yes, one time real hard.- told him this big block has ruptured the diaphram on the front 2 barrel- its running with full enrithhment- get this repaired before you wash out #1 lung.- He thanked me- gave him my electronic adress- if you ever want to sell-- He drove out of the parking lot slowly- got on the street- had it lined up squarely- and just hardly cracked open the 6 butterfly valves- Folks- i would pee on a spark plug to own this- Put this in the hammer lane on I-84 about 5 am- no traffic- cool air- This car would suck 99% of the new hot-rod wanna bees into the shaker hood- and blow them out the exhaust!-- I can dream huh?--never know---- i do check g-mail every now and then!!!
 
Definitely would lmao if you peed on a spark plug. Can't go wrong with old school mopar. The new school mopar welllllll never mind.
 
You can't go wrong with any muscle car from that era.

My first car was a '69 Chevelle SS convertible. 375hp muncie 4sp. Not crazy fast but fun as hell. Girls seemed to like it too. LOL I bought it used when I was in high school for $3500 in 1985. It had 35,000 miles at the time. I can't tell you how many times I have kicked myself in the ass for selling it.
 
should hav kept all of them

I never really had a hot rod. I have had several rigs that were really good though.- Old Ford Ranchero with a 289, One of the best road cars i ever had was a old Plymouth Belvadere- Torson bar front end suspension, my couson sold me the 6 way electric seats- black velvet from a lincon. This car had a slant 6. forged crank- comp cam 268 duration solid lifter, melling hi-volumeoil pump- what a sweet running little engine that was- go a long ways on a tank of gas too. On the Mopars, Jerry-Regina has the same type of car, but theres had a big block 318. thats correct-big block. Mopar called this a y block 318. This looked as big as a 440 on the outside. This y block would chirp the tires going into 2nd gear-It had a lot of torque. Ya know- on a little ford- 289 - later the 302 came along- the 302 is a stroked 289! All engines have a rod to stroke ratio. Most big time engine builders agree that the 302 displacement is sorta like a magic ratio- something akin to our 27cc engines-the way they balance out- My last dirt bike - a honda thumper had a 302cc stroker motor- that was a sweet engine also- too bad hondas frame geomitery was junk- oh well-- sold it.
