Default JUST when I thought it was safe.......

...to go look at other threads THIS one drags me back in with people both losing weight AND gaining height, beating a 14 second car with a Puff the Magic Dragon-inspired 409/L98 that's a LOT more powerful than an L98 so it can't BE an L98...plus now we have non-existent pics of a probably non-existent wife posing next to a non-existent Super-Duper-Genuine-Limited-Edition GOLDEN (at least it's not a Polo Green...poor Polo and Friz would have to repaint due to " Guilt by Paint Association") and poor Red's tried and true patience has got to be wearing thin with the answers he seeks going non-answered. On a positive note...we DID obtain a new "term" that I'm sure more than a few non-noobs will try out at least once.

As for the ramblings of the HokeyMeister....I'm guessing one of two possibilities... 1. Split personality disorder which causes the single aformentioned corvette to take on multiple engine RPO's on a given day....or 2. Loads upon loads of "recreational pharmacueticals". And Mike...I agree...this needs to be a sticky. Can we submit sticky titles for consideration? Might I suggest "Hokies Horrific High Performance Honda Hounding Hologram"? Hologram cuz as we ALL know...golden vettes take on an eerie sheen when exposed to sunlight at different angles

true 348-409 but i didn't want to muddy the waters..lol Actually the 348-409 were stump pulling torque monsters..
when I bought it the guy that owned it said.. "It dont run very good and it gets terrible gas mileage, it barely idles at all" lol.. It was a 409 with 2 carter 4 bbls and a solid lifter cam that hadnt been touched in about 10 years. I bought the car for 150 bucks..
One good tuneup later those polyglass gt 70's didnt stand a chance.

But I think the last year for the 409 was 64 or 65..

and yes Virginia 409's went road racing.. just not in corvettes in the 80's


Sorry history lesson over.. carry on.

Good idea, if you had brought it up there would be a gold 87 Vette with a 348 floating around the forum...........
