Usually spun bearings happen before thrown rods!!!

I like the BBC Chevy myself, but you can have a lot of fun with 67-68 302 Camaro with a 5.38 gear and a clutchless 4 speed as well.

Oh man, I bet you're right!! That sounds like a great time. I enjoyed watching your videos on 781/049 cylinder heads, looks like you got that figured out!
