Bullshit. I guess if you need to work on that OHC, it would take about 3
or 4 more hours than a non-OHC engine to R&R it. In the Porsche 928, you
can almost get your fingers between the valve covers and the fender wells,
which makes that job almost impossibile. Easier to pull the engine than to
fix it in the car.

 SA> Last chevy I had was a Biskane Wagon and it was a heap of shit,

I'll bet. Of course, even though you claim to have owned it, you never
figured out how to spell Biscayne...

Another pile of shit.

Well duh! Ever figure the power to weight ratio between the two?

3700lbs for the jag, 4800lbs for the Biscayne with equally sized six
cylinders or even the chevy with a torqueless 4.7L V8.

Put that jag up against anything else that is comparable to it. It'd get
beat every time.

Duh...

LOL! That chevy had a real smart driver too.

LOL! Bullshit.

Kinda reminds ya of back home in England doesn't it.

No one would bother to copy that piece of shit.
