<p>[quote user="Modelcar"]</p> <p><span style="font-size:medium;">Hmmm.....A couple of car guys here....Interesting.</span></p> <p><span style="font-size:medium;">Yes, remembering back decades ago, occasionally we'd see {in Pennsylvania}, some Canadian "Fords", and note the details of difference.</span></p> <p><span style="font-size:medium;">And on the confussion of GM engines and court cases years ago....Isn't it ironic between then and now, referring to Cadillac with the "Chevrolet engines" back roughly in the '70's....Now, Cadillac advertises "the fastest 4-dr. sedan", and it uses the 556 hp supercharged engine {similar to}, the Chevrolet Corvette ZR1...{of course, it's not called Chevrolet engine, no doubt referring to it as a GM engine}.</span></p> <p><span style="font-size:medium;">One other bit of trivia: Referring to the "blue & green" engines of 400 ci....GM. Back in the 70's Chevrolet offered two "400 ci." V8 engines of different design. The 400 small block......and the 400 big block. Actually the big block was 402 ci. but it was "ID'd", right on the car as a 400. Mouse motor & Rat motor.</span></p> <p><span style="font-size:medium;">That caused us a problem many years ago down in Florida when a fan belt failed, and trying to explain "what engine" we needed it for.....I had the Rat motor.</span></p> <div style="clear:both;"></div> <p>[/quote]</p> <p>Quentin, I have a friend out here who has a '71 Corvette. Its been a real "labor of love" for him.</p> <p>He's always joking..."sure I can take her out...but I have to be sure "AAA" is close by" [:)]</p> <p>It is a nice looking car though.</p>
