350 Chevy Powered

That's why us Chevy guys are having such a hard time finding small block engines.

All the Furd guys have them. [sm=dontgetit.gif]

lol...yah its the same with the deuce coupe i want...i would want an aluminum polished small block in it if i could ever afford it...but more than likely it would just have to be a cast 350...i wouldn't mind doing a 502 or a 572 though...that would sit pretty nice in that deuce coupe...but yah its a ford and i would put a chevy motor in it...

look @ all the mustangs at barret jackson that had chevy small blocks in them...they're way cheaper to work on and way cheaper to do up

[align=center][/align][align=center]When a car shares its name with our favorite racing game, it's got a head-start on the competition. When it's a Maserati as well, the race is already over. With a 60-year tradition, the Maserati GranTurismo ($TBA) is the perfect blend of performance and daily driver, with room for four, creature comforts aplenty, 49/51% weight distribution, and a 4.2 liter V8 that cranks out 405hp, linked to an adaptive automatic gearbox. Sure, we might not be able to afford it, but that doesn't mean we can't appreciate it.[/align][align=center]

Top cars: men vs. women
When it comes to cars, it's easy to figure out what men are after. It's women who are complicated
.

NEW YORK (CNN/Money) - A look at marketing data showing which cars men prefer and which ones women like revealed something I'd long suspected.
While men may, indeed, be from Mars, women are from someplace much more complex and difficult to figure out. Maybe Boston.
The figures, supplied by NOP World, a market research firm, show specific car models and an index number representing how many men -- or women -- intend to buy that car and no other compared to the percentage of their gender-mates who intend to buy the average car.
In other words, these are cars that seem to sell most disproportionately to just one sex or the other.
The most striking thing about NOP's data is how easy it is to figure out what guys want.
The Porsche 911 -- the most overwhelmingly male passenger car -- has an "Index Male to Total" of 214.3, for example. That's more than double the average. The car's "Index Female to Total," on the other hand, is just 14.3.
It's surprising the 911 doesn't grow hair on its hood and eat Krispy Kreme for breakfast.
Other cars at the top of the masculinity dial include the exotic Ford GT supercar, Maserati Spyder, Jaguar XK8 sports car and the Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution.
You get the idea: If it's very fast, awfully fast, terribly fast or way, way too fast, guys like it. Also, they tend to be expensive.[/align][align=center]

Good figures there Space, and they really do make sense.

I wonder if that's why my drive to work is sooo much better because of the 60 more hp carrying me around? I always figgured it was the security of a passenger sensing airbag... (not)

lol
