     I'm not sure if that's his Dodge wagon or another. Funny how the neat Pinto made it disappear. I think it has a big block in it. It used to have a Cadillac 4-6-8 motor in it if anyone here remembers those. He had it set up where he could toggle between 4-6-or 8 manually but 4 and six mostly sucked and got only marginally better mileage  so a Chrysler 413 is to be installed soon.

   The blister on the other side of the hood is to clear the blower hat I believe....

I had one of those V8-6-4's brand new in a 1981 Cadillac and it wasn't worth sh_t!  Negligable power in the four cylinder mode, ran rough and vibrated in six cylinders (used four on one side and two on the other, so was unbalanced), and was a true gas hog in eight!  After a year of that nonsense, in a stoke of genius :rolleye:, I traded it in on a new 1982 Cadillac with a diesel!  Another piece of crap!  Those two cars are the very reason I was hoping our meddlesome government was going to let GM go down in flames!

     Funny isn't it? If you had told Joe six-pack circa 1968 that GM would all but die without a huge tax payer funded bail out and Ford would be the stronger better equipped for the future American car company he'd laugh in your face.... Unless he was a Mopar guy and then I just wouldn't have the heart to tell him the bad news.  :embarrassed:

     I remember reading that something like 57% of all cars sold in the U.S. were made by GM in 1966.
