David,
This is not an NCRS Forum....Far from it. But I agree that humour is not appreciated for some reason.

 

Paul your right it is not NCRS. But it gets rather dry here. Cars are not why God placed me here on this Earth. And anything other than cars is explicidly forbidden on C3-CF. That's why I post only a few times per week, the rest on OT/PR&C. Still great info to be had which is why I still use C3-CF. And enjoy sharing with friends, including you.

David

 

WOW!!! That will look great!!!!!!! Now if I can just twist your arm to get a motor to match

We appreciate humor, just not when it gets in the way of C3 knowledge. Most of us are extremely focused on getting our cars to run faster and safer. If a bunch of BS threads causes a good technical discussion to shift to page 2, that pisses me off.

 

Dave: I tend to agree with you. WAY to many folks take all this stuff WAY to seriously! I come on here to have fun and occasionally help or suggest. But kidding around seems to be frowned on. Too many thin skins. I've also moved over to OT for most of my posts. I also miss many of the "old timers" that used to be on here. Seems like we are down to just two types of people on the C3 Forum...those that know little or nothing about Vettes and are constantly asking the same questions, or those that think they know EVERYTHING about EVERYTHING and shove that opinion in your face, or have a temper tantrum if you point out any error in their thinking.

Pretty sad to see this happen

name 1 good one. half *** opinions or quoting the NHRA rulebook don't count.

 

Tsk tsk Turtle...so you join your friend in disdaining the NHRA rulebook?

Do a search on the thread where the guy was asking about mounting the Z-bar on his 4-speed converted Vette. Even Chuck Harmon gave me an attaboy. Sorry if I don't buy some of the questionable advice that is spoonfed to certain adoring individuals. That just ain't my way

Well I'm not sure bout Maynard but Dobie Gillis definatly would have said "Good Stuff Maynard"...Direct famous quote.

 

Jeez, all I said was that it wasnt a

I didn't mean for it to be that big of a downer.

 

Dep,
My car is so slow I even get beat in the staging area! Seriously though a BB is not in the cards. The 327 is just fine for my type of driving. As I noted several weeks ago the main factor that gets on my nerves at times is the limitation imposed by the two-speed Powerglide. The car would be much more enjoyable with a 200R4. I will be thinking of that during the winter.

 

Paul: Keep the 327 and build it to the 360 horse specs. Yank the slip and slide PG for a manual trans (M22). Even MORE enjoyable!!!

Dep

 

Yes, you are absolutely right. I thank everyone that posted a relative reply. I apoligize to those who think this question is asked too often. I'm new to the forum and still learning. Also, I would have posted earlier but my access on the ship (JFK) is limited, and when it does work it is very slow (sometimes 10 minutes to load 1 page (pictures slow it down tremendously)) At least I have access! Last time I got access there were only 5 responses. Today when I was able to get on there we 50! - and the conversation has turned to racing and stuff. I actually haven't been able to load all the responses yet. I think I get the differences now.

 

reynoldr: I, for one, enjoyed the question and the responses. Thanks for asking!!!

Course Description:

Sharks and rays (collectively termed "elasmobranchs") are creatures of biological elegance and perennial fascination. In recent years, new technologies have revealed fascinating details about the heretofore secret lives of elasmobranchs as well as demonstrated their population declines on an unprecedented and global scale.This unique 12-week course is a comprehensive, interdisciplinary introduction to the taxonomy, evolution, biology, ecology, and conservation of elasmobranch fishes.

Topics covered include evolution, classification, diversity, anatomy, physiology, sensory biology, locomotion, feeding, reproduction, life history, behavior, distribution, ecology, and conservation of sharks and rays.

Student Base:
A credit course for advanced undergraduate students (transfer credit is available for students from other institutions) and general interest distance learners. Elasmobranchs are important components in virtually all marine ecosystems and in a few tropical freshwater ones as well. Sharks and rays are commercially exploited and vulnerable to directed fisheries, bycatch, and anthropogenic habitat erosion. This course will play an important role in enriching the educational background and professional understanding of marine biology, zoology, or coastal management degree students.

Credits: 3

Prerequisites: If taken toward an undergraduate degree, it is recommended that students have completed at least second-year biology courses. No prerequisites for those taking the course for general interest.

 

Uh oh, I thought this WAS the NCRS forum...
