Headed out for a Fall Drive.... side pipes work pretty well as leaf blowers...... Found the easiest way to correct any over heating issues with a BB, is to drive when it is in the 50's outside.....

I'm sorry, what was that?!?!?!?!?!? LOL

Driving around town, not bad..... keeping up with traffic on the freeway, with 4.11's, she's a bit noisy......

I grew up in this car...... and would not have it any other way......

Not loud enough, 50 degree days for small or BB chevy's is truly a breath of fresh air, like running on pure oxygen, Nice.
