  1. No, it is a word based on Twat and weed. It was the most mild put down I could find for this twatweed. Work with me here!

    Damn, I go and ice down my new knee replacemant and you guys ARE carrying the ball. Thanks guys. I'm no insight guru but this guy just rang the "bullshit bell" when I read his first post. Now it he had asked about a Toyota 4 banger vs an Allison V-12 it would have gone right over my head. Even I could not have made that decision.
    Like Eastwood said, "a mans got to know his limitations".

    Is it possible to get enough traction in a '32 3 window coupe to even worry about twisting the frame? I think he's just gonna buy lots of tires!

    Thee 572 is a standard big block demensionally except it has a tall deck. The intakes are different. The block is a half inch taller at the mount front and rear. Originally designed for truck engines with tall and heavy pistons and 4 rings each. You can use spacers and use traditional intakes. Bbc headers will bolt on but position a little different because the heads are in a slightly different place, which probably would not matter in a 32 chassis. The distributor is taller also. Any tall bbc (to clear rockers) valve covers should work.
     
  8. I beg to differ on the reliability of a blown flathead.I've been running one for over five years for over 20,000 miles. Only had to replace one set of headgaskets and that was because of fan failure.But I do agree that this guy sounds like a twatweed and was only trying to get some hambers wound up.
     
  9. If you can't beat 'em, join 'em....

    It's a CRATE engine.

    My buddy put Barry Grant three duece set up on his ZZ502 crate motor[$2400].Dynoed it, made 440hp at 5300. They make a real 510 with the 850 holley. $2400 bucks and you loose 70 hp.Put a tunnel ram on that 572.
