16yrs old, first car advise?!

"Big block is more to deal with than it is worth, unless you are building a drag car. Once you chase speed, you will never stop until you or your car is broke."


"Speed costs money. How fast do you want to go?" Told to me by a wise man. The one with timing tags and trophys from El Mirage Dry Lake. The one with the 3/8 x 3/8 flat head Ford with a six pack and the high dollar Eddy heads under the workbench. The same one that brought the SBF back from the company owned engine shop with the 11-1s and the mountainous Crower camshaft to put in the factory 4 speed 66 Ranchero. "There, knock yourself out" he said. The chase was on.
