Dear Jerry;
In the 50s, I was very lucky. My
"self destruct" rate was very low
for engines.
In my first 216, I broke the crank.
Never had a major explosion but many
others did etc.
However; those 85Hp trasmissions never
did work/last very long. LOL
-------
By the time I finally got a Muncie 4spd
and the 12 port from Harry; it was 1963
and the (Hot Rod 6) era was long gone.
It would have been great though. My
3 window coupe only weighed 2640#.
Sold it all in 1983 and moved to the
desert. Tried some others in the 90s
(joined Inliners) but the $4.50 gas
killed all that. RIP
Got a couple of built 261s if ya know
any one that want's to spend money??
