    WOW! I have no idea what some of those things are, but I think it's awesome with the way they describe their engines. Also, what is a dissy?
    I can almost hear the accent. So friggin cool! [img]graemlins/bowdown.gif[/img]

    If you have a 229ci engine with approx 320hp, I'd LOVE to see pics of it and what was done to it. Maybe I can upgrade my dissy too :D

              GM 90° V6s go back to the 70s, and they had distributors then. ;)

                  They were. 60° V6 came out in 1980. ;)

                            With that engine in that car, you could down right do a wheelie.

                            That is pretty sweet.
