Nobody's right if everybody's wrong.
Getting into reloading to save money is like getting married for free sex.

The small block Chevyโs were pretty bad ass
As far as endurance , the 318โs and slanted six held up pretty good
The best I had for endurance was a 2006 Ford Focus station wagon , had 280 some thousand miles when I sold it and and the guy who bought it drove it for a couple more years

Lemon Twist with a 340/6Brl 4 speed... there was a few stop light drag races... i still remember the smell of burnt clutch and oil vapor at 6k... One of the got away's that I had forgotten about until now. Thanks for bringing up a painful reminder. Ha. ALMOST had 1 bought in I'm gonna say the yr would've been 87-88. Sitting in amongst a bunch of other cars at a small shop. Yellow/black paint. All original and everything was there. 6 pack with the air cleaner, everything. Just needed to be gone over and restored, but it wasn't rough. Got to poking around about it and conversing with the shop about buying it. We were in a back and forth dialogue about buying it and the price. Somewhere along the line they realized what it was and that was the end of that. Rare bird. Couldn't believe at the time I ran across it. Still think about it at times.
One is alone in a land so vast, there is only the mountains, the wind, and the eyes of God.

The 318 seemed to outlast anything it was ever installed in. That's because Chrysler's bodies were POSs when the 318 was living. It weren't really a bad engine, though...just nothing remarkable. Thatโs B.S. had some early 60โs that had excellent bodies in the mid to late 70โs Iโve seen the 318โs run dry of oil and keep on trucking No power house , but definitely durable Kenneth

Love the 70 GTO, my favorite yr... sadly, i muffed an op 3 yrs back... a friend/customer who is a well known parts vendor in the Pontiac world offered me his 70 GTO, RA III, 4 speed, White/Red int., it was striped as a "Judge", Texas car, faded paint & decals, owned since high school (1978)... he shot me a price that was more than fair for it, but then informed me it wasn't a "Real" Judge... asked him to give me some time to sort it out, he said no problem, it hasn't left this spot in 30 yrs... When i delivered a load of parts to him a week later and to seal the deal on the Goat, the car was gone...

I've always been a curmudgeon - now I'm an old curmudgeon.
