Yeah, that is because there was always a surplus of Chevy engines around since the REST of the cars would fall apart quickly!  ;D

My Ford has 270,000 miles on it.

I just felt like mentioning that my Chevy has 284,000 miles on it and I still use it as a work truck, and its still going strong. Thats with the original engine and trans, if you were wondering. It's about how you care for a car that keeps it going. Chevys and Fords both break if they aren't cared for and both last if they are.

This one was built about 2 blocks from where I live (the owner showed up on monster garage, and this monster was shown briefly). It used to be a vintage fire engine. The pictures don't really illustrate how big this thing is in person.

you know, for such a large country the US seams like such a small place. i actually stayed overnight in grants pass, oregon twive about 8 years ago :). i don't suppose the blastolene special existed then, but it's still a cool coincidence...
