After 6 more posts, are you going to show the swastika carved into your forehead? Image
You want to put that where?

Bob,
Let's see. You forgot the 406 Chevy, 401 Pontiac, 400(All of the Big Three had their version of these), and in 5 posts, you'll have the 440 six-pack!

How could I have forgotten the 400 Pontiac or the 389? 361 also, 326, 312, 292, 272, 283 of course. 301 Pontiac. I thought the 406 was a Ford? I don't think there was a 402 now, was there? Oh yeah 403 Oldsmobile (Trans Ams also)
I think liters are a very boring way to quantify engine displacement. Shes real fine, my 4.9... nope doesn't work.
Yeah I got some good ones coming up 454 LS-6, yeah, vroom!

Speaking of cars, rumor (fron Elliot Easton) has it that Cars are going on tour again in the near future. I don't know if I will be able to afford the time off to see them though.
Life, as with music, often requires one to let go of the melody and listen to the rhythm

Rick Ocasek(spellcheck) is still around? I thought he retired! I'd definately go see them if they come around here.

Three more to add to your list, Bob:
200 in-line six Ford
300 in-line six Ford truck engine
225 slant-six Chrysler

The bodies and framerails may rot away, but these engines just won't die!

Oh and my first car, senior year high school 1976, was a '68 Ford Mustang GT 2+2 fastback with a 289HP engine. Sold it in '90.

I know no 350, probably the most popular engine ever. I had two or three including my 69 Nova.
I was never a big Cars fan I think I overdosed on them living near Boston, but Benjamin Orr had a great voice, the best by far in the band (IMHO), so I don't know who would play bass.
