    A Guy Goes To The U.s. Post Office To Apply For A Job And The Interviewer Asks Him, "have You Been In The Service?" "yes," He Says. "i Was In Vietnam For Three Years" The Interviewer Says, "that Will Give You Extra Points Toward Employment", And Asks, "are You Disabled In Any Way?" The Guys Says, " Yes 100% ... A Mortar Round Exploded Near Me And Blew My Testicles Off". The Interviewer Tells The Guy, "ok I Can Hire You Right Now. The Hours Are From 8 Am To 4 Pm. You Can Start Tomorrow. Come In At 10 Am." The Guy Is Puzzled And Says, "if The Hours Are From 8 Am To 4 Pm, Then Why Do You Want Me To Come In At 10 Am? "this Is A Government Job. For The First Two Hours We Stand Around Scratching Our Balls ... No Point In You Coming In For That."

    I really want to jump into my truck's engine ... but can't afford to let it sit long at all ... I wish I could find a cheap old truck to drive while mine is down ... One day, I hope to find a 3/4 ton truck to pull mine on a trailer ...

    I wish you was closer to me ... the junk yards around here suck ... Pull-a-part ( the newest one here) is ok ... put parts do not last there long at all ...

    Welcome to the IHoP

    would you get one of these for your own personal hotrod ... I'm not talking about a everyday drive back and forth to school / work car or truck ...

    Welcome to the IHoP

    A 305 .30 over is a 310. That's no where near a 327. Add the "big valve" heads and you have nothing more than a top end scream machine. You still wouldn't have the torque or power you would have started off with in the 350 unless you also stroked it and did some major head and cam work. No shit ... I said similar, not exact ... and at the end, I said Then start modifing from there ...

    Welcome to the IHoP

    We were out racing one night, this guy hit me up for a race ... I challenged him to a case of beer (thats all I had) ... We knew he was faster than me, and all he (Said) he hda was a hunderd dollar bill ... WTF ... we made the bet, he really wanted to race me ... wouldn't you know it, we raced, he spun out at the start and could not catch me ... I thought, Hell, got me a hunderd dollars ... he was honest, went to pull out the money, and did not have it ... not even 20 dollars ... Things got hectic ... After it was all said and done, he had no choice, give me his car or I take his girlfriend home that night ... guess he cared more about his car than his girlfriend ... lol She was fine too !!! What a night ... I miss being wild a nd single ...

    I may be a Cable Guy, but I've worked with my dad in the Auto mechanic / paint and body realm for years ... hell, we got to rebuild the suspension under my truck this weekend ... you can bet I didn't buy used parts for that ... Buying motors out of a junkyard is a chance just like buying a amp from a pawn shop ... not sure if its going to last ten yeras or ten days ... If you are building a hotrod for someone else, that may be fine to you ... but it would suck if the ride was brought back with engine problems (see this all the time in the mechanic world) If you build a hotrod for yourself ... I would bet you would like to know EXACTLY whats under the hood of your ride when you make a challenge for a money race ... or in my case, I only raced for beers, that way (if I lost) i'd still get to drink a few and not be fighting about money ...

    Welcome to the IHoP

    guess thats what makes us old hotrodders different now adays ... Back then, we built our own performance ... and you wouldn't even get a good drag race with everyone knowing you just "bought" something and brought it out to the track or late night street track (where ever that might be in the city) ... but yes, those would be some powerful engines ... but changing all the motor mounts and matching up to the older transmissions would be fun ...

    Welcome to the IHoP

    The HO 305 in my Camaro was a mean engine ... 305 block bored out 30 over with made it similar to the 327, but in a 4 bolt main ... add the big valved heads, then you got a similar to a mildly built 5.7 350 ... Then start modifing from there ... one mean smallblock !!! Well, that was back then in the early 90s ... I'm sure there are more updates, tricks, and tips one can do to those things these days ... If I ever call it quits on this stereo in my truck, I'd like to tackle that 5.7 vortek 350 in it and just see what we could come up with ...
