Default Re: Test--> whost the real gear-head in here<--- Test

Jeff, you told me I cant play anymore, I will leave that one for somebody else, if nobody gets it I will answer for you later today. Here is another little known fact relating to your engine test. Very few people know that Chevrolet's first V-8 was not 1955, it was actually in the 1920's I believe, it did not work that well so Chevy gave up on the idea. Ford took their idea, designed it less complicated and ran with it. The Flathead Ford V-8 was born. It is comforting to know that based on that fact, Ford STOLE the V-8 concept from Chevrolet, in the fifties Chevy just took back the idea and designed the V-8 that is still basically unchanged. Many of the parts are still interchangable from 1955 to present! Show me another car company that can claim that! It might be a neat idea to start a Chevrolet trivia catagory on this board, for all of us bored middle of the night guys.
Thanks,
