Default Check out my new crate engine!

Well, at least this where all the money for it went. We were engaged on Christmas in St. Lucia on a Royal Caribbean Cruise.

She secretly loves the vette, she's a little jealous because for years her ring fund has been secretly disguised as the "crate engine fund." She loves riding in the vette and driving it occasionally. Her father was a former national record holder in his Plymouth Fury. She's told me that she wants to race like her father did. Maybe I have a Cha-Cha Muldowney on my hands? :)

Funny you say that. I was going to drill a ring hole in a model 383 stroker and put a cubic zirconium on the air cleaner.

I don't think she'd be as amused as I would :)

At first I was told those get better gas mileage and give great torque!

The torque's okay, but I think the cost of gas was severely underestimated for my version.
