[DMCForum] Re: Continued: Dave Stragand's Cadillac

Hmmm, did I hear someone on the Forum recently bad mouth full size
American domestics?

One of the best kept secrets of older American engineering is you can
abuse and neglect the ever living crap out of it, and it continues to
work! (I actually take care of mine. You should try it sometime). Even
if your frame breaks in two (excuse me Dave, are you parking the poor
thing in the ocean?) -- what's going on under the hood? Might need to
snatch that little 302 out of there and transplant it in the Vixen.
Edelbrock makes a manifold so you can jetison fuel injection at the
same time.
