I have to second that notion! Its not often that the Panthers get to the playoffs. They just might prevail!!

Us Southern boys usually cheer for college basketball. Teams like UNC (Tarheals), Duke (Blue Devils), UNCS (Wolfpack), and Wake Forest (Demon Decons) predominate in the 'sweet 16' leading up to the final four.

In any case, the best team will win on this given day. Next week, any other team could win. It just depends on whos' pumped-up for the contest.

Why couldn't a Nova come with a 4.10 gear in '70? There is a block on the dealer's order form for the various options, including G80 for the posi rear. I have seen where the dealer simply writes "4.10" next to the option box, and the car came with a 4.10!

Marlin,
I know you dont realize this from your 70 deuce, but these Nova's when equipped with the "real big block" power instead of the trainer engines could do some serious body twisting with the right combination of driver and tire. Add a 4.10 gear set or more and your local bodyman will be doing a jig atop his Bondo can! I see you have a Big Block car, congrats on your passage into Manhood! Heck, it's better then running 50 miles through the desert to be named Big Eagle instead of ChickenHawk! And heaven forbid a set of 4.10 gears hooking up behind a stout Big Block if any of the body panels were stamped overseas! As Chubby Checker said so well; "Come on Baby,,,lets do the Twist..." Now you know I'm just kiddin with ya there M, we just aint had no fun in awhile! By the way, I did try to catch you on the phone, just read your message last night, I will try to call this evening. Oh hey, I noticed on one of the other sites you were asking the firing order to your car, it's 18432576. Have a nice day M, talk to ya later!
Your Pal,
Motown

Matt;
You are hardly funny.

BTW, I don't define my manhood with an engine. But since you brought it up, the hp rating of my LT1 Nova is obviously 370 due to the 'vette marketing thing, and has a curb weight of approx. 3100lbs. My big block L78 Nova is 375hp, and has a curb weight of approx. 3500-3600lbs. Now, your little manhood aside, do I need to explain the power to weight ratio thing to you?

The torque of the engine mated to a 4.10 gear will twist a subframe car, you get an 'A'. Does that mean that GM didn't produce it?

Oh yea, the firing order of Deuce is cast into the intake manifold smartie! Don't be making up posts for me when you should be pulling that Yenko Camaro out of the guy's back yard with all your biker buddies

Marlin, the entire post was a attempt at lightning up the day around here, you didnt need any numbers and stats to throw back at me (in record time by the way),, and do you really think I believed you didnt know a Chevrolet firing order? That is funny! I am not sitting on the edge of my chair grinding my teeth anymore, I learned how to be calm and deal with the oddities of life with a grin and a shrug, cant push my buttons anymore like in days gone by, Charley has been schooling me in babysitting, which is the true test of patience and tolerence. So relax a bit, pop a couple of those pimples that are causing undue pressure in your head, and grab your blankie....it's nap time......

Your usual stuff Matt; so many words, so little said - you really should have been a politician. Let's just keep it real, and about the cars, ok pops



Where can I get one of these for Matt?
