Friend of mine passed away suddenly at the age of 61. Previously unknown congenital heart defect of some kind.
Steve and I worked at the GM Milford Proving Ground together. Many of us heard Steve say, on more than one occasion, "...after I'm gone I want you to run my ashes through a Chevy big block, running at 4000 rpm. I want to see what the inside looks like." He even reiterated with one of his buddies: "you're gonna take care of that, right?"
So - we did. At the end of the service they fired up his '72 Blazer, which has a 396 in it, and ran it up to 4000 rpm, while pouring some of his ashes down the carb throat. I cried a little.
He was a hot rodder to the very end.
