New VS Old 340 6-pack

I've wanted one for 30 years! Even if it ran like ****, I'd want it! Just for the WOW factor!

Many years ago, my Mopar friend Morris worked at a Pizza Hut with a guy who had about a 1970 Nova with a small block. I can't remember his name, so I'll call him "Bob".

One day Bob, who knew nothing about cars, comes in to see Morris at work. "Look at what I bought!" he says & shows Morris a used tunnel ram (I think it was a dual quad) that he had bought at the local speed shop.

Morris asks him what he's going to do with it & he says "I'm gonna' put it on my Nova." He then said something about girls goin' for guys with "hot cars" with carbs poking through the hood. :roll: Then Morris asks him "What kind of cam are you going to use?"

"Cam?" says Bob, "What's that?" :tool:

Morris tells him "You go home & put that on your car & try it out & then come back & we'll talk about what kind of cam you need to run."

Well, they talk it over & one thing leads to another & they decide to pull the motor & rebuild it, since they're gonna' change the cam anyway. Then they have to cut the hood for the manifold to stick through it. Well, now Bob needs a hood scoop, so they put one on. That looks like crap with the scoop a different color than the car, so they decide to repaint the car. After it's painted, Bob drives it for a while & decides he can't live with a tunnel ram, so he pulls it & switches to a performance single four manifold. So now he has a car with new paint, rebuilt motor, & hood scoop, all because of a manifold he's taken off of the car. :tard: I don't know if he ever got any girls. :munky2:

There's no moral here, I just like telling that story.

:burnout:
