Buckle Up. It makes it harder for the aliens to suck you out of your car.

I was just there about a month ago and they had the nicest '57 chevy in the front window. |

A military friend of mine used to have something like that. It was a mid 80s S10 with a 350. It was the long box version and had faded two tone red and black paint. It looked like some trailer park redneck's truck with a set of rough Cragar SS wheels thrown on it. You'd never guess it would blow the doors off any Camaro or Mustang. |

Were you at the McDonough GA location? They also had several NASCAR racers, a Garlits dragster and Prudhomme's Skoal funny car on display.
BTW, ob's BBQ in McDonough has good smoked brisket and pork. I just wish they served collards as a side ...

| Not that I know of personally. Good BBQ is hard to find here for some reason. |

Too far north I guess. Same with good sweet tea, collards, hush puppies and corn bread. I need to go south of US route 40 to even start seeing stuff like that on the menu.

Never rodded mine out, though it did have the 4300 Vortec.

That is very true and the conversion to V-8 makes it run like a bat out of hell.
said by Kearnstd:Never rodded mine out, though it did have the 4300 Vortec. I bet it still runs very well with the larger 4.3L V-6 like yours over the old 2.8L V-6. The 4.3L is no slouch.

Mullica Hill, NJ | Oh I know that engine was mean. Mine was a 1995 (Z Vin if you are curious and I remember correctly). That truck was such a beast. Even with a 7ft bed filled completely with gravel, outside temp 95deg and the AC on Max it still had zero issues accelerating. was a 5pd manual 4x4 with an electronic 2spd transfer case.
when we moved to NJ we sold it to a neighbor and I took ownership of the Impala.
If the neighbor treats it like I did I bet that truck is still running strong.

I get/have to see one of those nearly every day.
I put the blower on a 350 and tried to stuff it into a '63 Corvette. Well, it fit just fine except the lower pulley would hit a cross member and we didn't want to modify the vehicle one bit, so we ended up putting on a smaller supercharger. The boss made the vette owner a deal on the blower so now it sits in his '64 Nova that sits at the shop.
'64 Nova Blown 383.
