Had my motor builder come to me to tell me the 383 he built for a guys Impala blew up in less than 3 weeks. I was shocked until I learned that it blew up at close to 8000rpm with a shot of nitros while drag racing at the local drag strip in one of these jacked up Donks. Apparently there is actually a racing series where donks with large rims and jacked up in the air race each other. The guy tried to play if off like he was jumping on the highway until my motor builder looked at the engine. (he has a long history of racing himself) He called the guy out and the real story came out. I would have told him to screw off but instead my motor builder is building him a bigger and stronger motor so the idiot can blow his drive train to hell. Donk's are dumb.You can pick up this gem while you're there https://lincoln.craigslist.org/pts/d/lincoln-1975-caprice/7037448592.html

Many years ago I had two available for me to buy at a reasonable price. However my expert block repairer (machinist) said they were not repairable, needed new sleeves and a couple windows repaired and there was no way for the sleeves to hold properly
I thought all model A came with a small block and three duecesWhen it comes to the LS craze I feel like Henry Ford probably did when they started putting small block chevys in his beloved model T’s and A’s, although he was dead by then I’m sure he’s still spinning in his grave.
