Answer:   Torque.

Don't forget that couple hundred POUNDS of weight on the front end ... 

[cook_dw]

They added the weight to the engine to help keep the front wheels on the ground from all the torque..

But Darrell while you're torquing up and holding down lil 302 done gone screamed away......far away down the track

Very nice Darrell. No replacement for displacement.

[1968RSZ28]

No replacement for displacement.

Correct, as long as the displacement does not exceed 302 cubic inches!!!

'Being this is a Big Block Chevy, the most powerful engine in the world, it will blow your doors clean off. You just gotta ask yourself - do you feel lucky ? Well do you, PUNK ?'

Sorry, the "Every Which Way But Loose" got me started. Now if I could remember "Any Which Way You Can" my evening would be complete.

Steve, you forget a very important part of the quote, "Did he throw two rods or only one?" Well to tell you the truth in all this excitement I kinda lost track myself."

I thought it was "did I fire 6, or only 5 (and so on). Big uns usually won't pitch 'em unless you get way over that 6500 mark often. I've got a nice windowed JH that mirrors that, where the piston took a "right turn, Clyde". Literally -

I thought every day was a big block kind of day.

Yup, if you go fishing every day and need an anchor!
