i know what a hemi is, but had to assume that "6-97s" refers to an unfamiliar style of carburation, Strombergs perhaps? I'll get there, i'm...
I suspected that but wasn't sure. i figure for my goal, the right 4 barrel or 2 barrel will be a great choice.
I read that this morning, not before I posted, sorry. I am reading as much as I can (fast) but I wouldn't/couldn't have waited to post my basic...

3 dueces? really? i wouldn't have thought of that for economy.
That's the type of suggestion I was looking for, although I will likely go automatic. i had a '95 Caprice 9C1 (LT1) and it would also easily do...
