Hey, I got a $16,900 hotrod that I only paid $800 for! And, I won that shotgun at a Pheasants Forever banquet ($1295 at Gander Mtn.), plus I picked up those (new) Hurst slicks on Craig's List for $50 (I mean $500). "Gee, honey I can't tell you how much money we saved since you turned me on to...

Hello, I am new to this site. Hello, I just joined your web group last night. I have been looking for Rockfish's information for several months. This thread answers a lot of questions for me. I recently bought a 409 block, and which has some interesting things about it. It is stamped on the...
