A 231? That's an interesting setup. Back in the day we dropped SBC's in those, and in 280Z's.

The front buckets need reupholstered, but my pops has owned an upholstery shop for 60 years that specializes in only custom and hotrods, so new seats are in the works! But other than the buckets the rest is very nice. Door panels are mint, no cracks in the armrests. Im gonna toss a new molded carpet kit in it to.



Not a 231 V6,, this a V8 215 cubic inches. Olds, buick and pontiac used them for a couple years in the early sixties. Some of the olds ones had turbochargers to. Later they were put into land rovers for many years along with other British cars. I had a late 90s range rover with on it it and it was pretty tough!

These are very collectible and were used in many high performance applications such as marine and Indy/road racing do their light weight.
They can be stroked with 300 buick cranks and many other mods to make some very good numbers. Bore to stroke ratio is very good to.

Honestly I was just looking for a nice roller to put a blower motor in with some huge meats, but this one is a cool piece of old nostalgia that I dont think I can molest. It drives great too, its a pretty fun little car! Only 2300 pounds!

Brad, you seriously needed another car, didn’t you?

It needed me!

They are like guns! Never enough garage, never enough safe!

That’s a nice ride you got there brother.

My cousin was an engineer for GM back in the day, he did a lot of the performance testing on the Vega Cosworth models. He and his wife (navigator) would race down to Mississippi from Michigan, They had a clipboard with two stopwatches attached meaning they hauled assthe whole way.

CPA filed my 1120S today.
Firing her after it goes through.

I just can't afford to pay a CPA that much, she really went whole hog on me.
Not even sure I even need a CPA.
I'll try Turbo Tax or H&R Block.

Holy shit, you're alive? I've seriously thought about sending out a search party for ya.

I've been doing my own taxes since the beginning. H&R Block online makes it very simple. Just have to keep clicking through and writing stuff in.

I got this email from Amazon yesterday:



I think that's pretty impressive!

So going by those numbers, SAF receives about 1/1000th of the AmazonSmile money, which I don't think is too bad all things considered. I mean, we can certainly do more, but that's a good chunk of change.

That's a pretty damn good perk. It is very, very slow to accumulate, but good all the same!

My buddy gave me a few Neon Signs to hang in my garage and they look awesome....

Very cool!

Makes my day every time the news says he transported Maggots from Western Washington.

Am I the only one that subconsciously thinks Maggots=Antifa?

Pisses me off he calls the Gvnr Manson trees HIS .

Typical though...he doesnt know the laws of his OWN F'n County. Thurston Co is Apple Maggot Quarantine area.


Authorities are trying to round up the maggots...

Saw an older gent at the store today wearing a Subvet hat.
Asked him what boats he was on and he replied... Tang, Nautilus and a couple other diesel boats...
I have been to the Nautilus museum a few times and started thinking what that must have been like compared to the boat I was on..
The history that man knows..
