When I was a kid, my mom drove a '65 Pontiac Tempest convertible with a 230" inline six with a Powerglide. Car was excellent. I remember her going to the gas station and asking for two dollars worth of regular. Our other family car was a 69 Charger with a 383 and a four speed. That always got ten dollars of high test.
I used to always get Ford vans with 300 inch sixes in them. I had one we put over 300,000 miles on and never had the head off.
When I was 18 or 19 I worked in a machine shop in a boat yard where we built all sorts of stroker big block chevys. I made a cutaway for display at the boat show. Cutting the block was pretty insane. The valve covers and timing chain were child's play in comparison.
