Recently bought a 360/ TF. Bad, the guy lied about condition. Good, it was cheap. He was explaining that some guy came clear up to Spokane from Kellogg (about 80-90 mi ONE way) and asked the guy a question about the engine. I've forgotten what the question WAS, but HE thought the thing was a FORD 360!!!
Years ago, some guy came into the store with a nice old 62? Vette, and needed some of the great big heater duct that they have under the hood. I went out to help measure, and of course a crowd gathered.
Some guy says "Zat a 327??"
Well it WAS but the thing COULD'VE been anything from a 283 to a 350, maybe even a 400
Then this moron continues................
Yeahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh..................ya cun always tell a Corvette engine because THERE ARE JUST A LITTLE SHORTER than a "reg'lar" Chivvy!!!!"
