We had two motors, one 421 SD and a 389 SD. The 421 came from Pontiac, was a complete motor that was shipped to Worth from Ray Nichols. In the early sixties Nichols was to Pontiac what Holman Moody was to Ford. When Jimmy Pardue switched to Plymouth Worth bought a complete 389 motor from him389 or 421 in the Poncho?
Fascinating era that I also could listen to the stories foreverThanks Keith, never saw the JJ video before. I could listen to Robert and Pat speak of the "good old days" forever. I'm sure there's others here that could add lots more. Thanks

Thanks for sharing and please don't stop!!!!!!!Iowa 409 Guy, I promise you there are guys here that have forgotten more than I’ve posted!!
