Vikki No way I was knocking the OHC6. I said there are some high torque 6s out there but you'll pay for it. Thats great your Lemans has your respect with the OHC6. Wondering if you'd feel the same if it came with a 455? My bird originally came from the factory with the ohc 6. When I bought it it had a 283 chevy. I had no quams putting in a big V8 over a OHC 6. No matter how high gas gets mine is a MUSCLE car not a sunday buggy. This Email along with the first was not to stir anybody up. twofirebirds asked for this boards .02 and I gave mine. This has to be the longest e-mail ive written on this board. Sorry if I offended you or anybody else. Bill
