No it was a production gm small block , punched out 30* over. Since it was a production block it was just a matter of time it would break after shooting a shot of Nitrous.
Plan was a gm crate 572 BB
A 400 chevy small block 30 over , 406

Sounds expensive. I like the show ponies better these days myself. I dont have the time to check fuel lean.
Most modern stock cars are damn fast too!
Good luck if you decide to give her her a new heartbeat

Windsor. Smaller block and heads but still a ***** to install. The Hooker headers came in 16 pieces that we had to weld as we slipped them in place. C4 trans and narrowed 9 with locker and 4.62 gear. A beast. Would put 12 inch slicks on it on nice weekends for racing.

depending on the age of the collection there can be some value, but the 80's on forward, you are looking at pennies unless you have some really rare stuff.

I collect growlers/crowlers from different breweries that I try, and I call football refereeing my hobby. I get paid for it, so I'm not sure it counts, but I put a ton of effort into it.

Apparently the remaining cans are now worth in the area of $300,000 each.

At this stage in my life, I'm trying to reduce. Less stuff, no clutter, etc. Everything organized and with a function. Still working on that...but collecting anything seems to grate against where I'm trying to get right now. I do have some awesome Bears memorabilia though. I'll probably end up gifting it to someone who actually cares or selling it eventually.

That's probably a good assessment.
