I hear ya. I grew up with the "muscle cars" of the late '50's and '60's. Had a sail back '61 Biscayne w/tripower 348 and 4speed. Thought it was fast. Compared to what's available now, it's the proverbial slug! I still like the older cars, but that's a generational thing. That's why I want to bring this truck into the "present day" powerwise. It won't be near as quick as what can be had off the showroom floor, but then again, neither am I. As the adage says, "The older I get, the faster I was !"
