My name is Jason, I have a wife, an awesome almost 2 year old son, and a 49 Chevy Fleetline. Found the page as a link from another, and it is what I have been looking for. There is alot of info here, I have only broken the surface (found the page at lunch at work) but like what I see.
My interest is building a reliable engine out of the conglomeration (sp) of 216's I have in the garage. I plan on adapting a dual intake (offy) for efi, and some other mods.
Cool site, thanks for letting me be a part of it!

I have another one coming pretty soon, that is also a runner, as soon as he does the 235 swap. (You know who you are,  ) I am also considering getting a 235 and using that while I build up a "bad" 216. I know it seems backwards, but that is what I want! Thanks and see ya around! Jason | | |
