MJ, Yes, Ernie did a great job with it that engine. He said before that it was in the guide so he built it. But you take your chances and then live with it , as Ernie has.
Most people know that they never put stick shifts in the bathtub Caprices. How far do you think anyone would have gotten with the original car , running R/Stock, stick?
It's hard to tell what engine is under the hood of a SS/GT car , from the stands. Announcers rarely ever mention it.
I wouldn't blame disgruntled racers for pointing this one out. I'd place the blame squarely in an office that's about 400 miles west of here.
