I know I'm right....
Saw a 'nice' 56 Chevy the other day. I guarantee 80% of the moldings were China repops. They were not that shiny when they were new! It had the wide 18"s and 30 series tires on it, not my cup of tea. And to top it off: "Tri-Five Guys" in the back window. Only time I ever see or hear that is in marketing catalogs.... full of Chinese Chevy part repops. To each his own.

Ford made all those versions and it was a PITA. What did they gain. If you wanted a 4V you bought a 340 or a 360. The 318 was NEVER seen by Chrysler as a performance engine. So the cheap screws bought the /6 cars, the regular folk got the 318 and the people that wanted performance bought the 340 and the 360. Why the hell would you want a 318 4V when you could get the 340 or 360? That makes no sense. That’s like asking for 2 X 4’s on a /6. It just doesn’t make sense.

No kidding. I posted that because Steve Welder was alluding that his interior parts from Legendary were American made. It’s not.
Not till 1973.
He's always alluding to stuff that ain't true. It's ok, I still like him though. lol
Ziiiiiing
2 4bbl's no way you gotta put 2 3bbl's on that
Nope the 4bbl came out in 73 to fool dummies into thinking 360 was as good as 340

If ANY of that Aussie Speed **** would have fit in my car I would have it. I tried 2 of their intakes, Hooker slant six headers, the Dura headers and None Of It Fits!!! If you have power brakes or power steering. I really wanted to keep my car Numbers Matching, but with AC and **** none of the Aussie stuff works. I bought it all and had to send it all back. Really nice guy, but still charged me a pretty big restocking fee.

Yeah, I shoulda got my book out and looked it up. I was guessing. Funny they put the 4V out the same year they killed the 340 dontcha think?
Yeah it is funny, dumb too. Kinda like the 230 casting 400 block as the least impressive big block produced but the strongest. Mopar should remake that block.
F the rb block
I was at Legendary the week before last. They had a sign in front of the the manufacturing building saying help wanted sewing machine operators and something else.
Bandaid applicators
Man that sucks.
Rampage broI would for an El Camino or Ranchero. Seriously, WTF Mopar? They made Dart and Valiant wagons, why not trucks too?
All you need is the money for Mopar interior and you can have that complete car lolI wouldn't mind having a 1970 LS6 Chevelle with a new interior.
That's funny, but they are producing there. I've known a couple guys there since the '80s. They're good neighbors, hosting car shows and nostalgia drags.
I'd love to import an Aussie Valiant Ute.
Yes, that would kick ***
and Charlie Chan forged that crank you're using in the back of a bamboo barn.

Dude, I probably look like one of those guys throwing money at my car. I had my car sitting at a shop for 4 months because they couldn’t tell me they didn’t know how to work on Mopars. And I did try all the Aussie stuff. I wish it would have worked. Now I’m gonna be runnin a Stroker. Damn you Aussiespeed!!!
