It certainly made an impact on racing, and still does today. 900 hp engines in dirt track sprint cars based exactly on the old small block. 18436572 Firing order since day one. 18436572 ...L-RR-L-R-LL-R... which translates to lub-dub-lub-dub-lub-dub.. from the dual exhaust. 😉 I have to say the Subaru boxer H-6 was the smoothest, low speed torguiest, easiest winding ICE I ever drove, but it sounded pretty boring by comparison.

Can you imagine doing that job in that time on a car today? 🔧 No. Funny. I talk to a buddy every night who, like me, started out as a mechanic back in the late 60s early 70s. We could fix our own cars. Not now, that ship sailed years ago. Special tools, fuel pumps inside gas tanks, starters under the intake manifold, batteries under the back seat, and every piece on the car that can be saved, cheapened, or made so it's easy going down the assembly line, they will do. You can't work on them and they don't want you to. I'll bet I could still get around in my 1979 souped up Chevy C10 pickup if I didn't break a telephone pole with it. Probably couldn't buy gas for it today. Edited yesterday at 02:20 AM by Screwball Quote

Screwball Posted 5 hours ago Posted 5 hours ago I'm sure everyone is on pins and needles to see Space X IPO debut today. Trading on the NASDAQ under ticker symbol SPCX it finally hit the tape at 11:46 am today. Price started at $135.00 but quickly the market took over. The broader market is trading at +299 on the Dow, +27 on the S&P, and +40 on the NASDAQ. Space X at $166 as I type this. Quote
