The larger issue, however, is on the small block V-8, the water pump has two holes on the right side. One is smaller and the other is a large hole. Now, on the V-6 water pump, it does not have the small hole like the V-8 pumps. I taped and pluged the small hole. It's a done deal. It all fit and hood closes good.

Re: [Chevelle-list] OT: hybrids
small cars are coffins with wheels-#1 having a big truck is like paying for life insurance[you have a far better chance in a big truck then a small car] besides the auto makers are screwing everyone into thinking we need small cars-you don't think at this stage of the game tech. isn't there for 40 mph truckswe have fuel injection aero dynamics cats. air pumps etc. economy still bites bigger trucks are peace of mind.safety for the family etc. - Original Message - From: "Karl Groves" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "'The Chevelle Mailing List'" Sent: Friday, February 03, 2006 8:15 AM Subject: Re: [Chevelle-list] OT: hybrids IMO, it makes no financial sense to purchase a hybrid car at this time unless a) you NEED a car or b) you can find one used. Firstly, anyone who buys a brand new car off the lot is throwing away thousands of dollars right off the bat. That is money that you'll never get back. And hybrids are typically much more expensive than regular cars of the same size. Second, buying a car when you don't need one is a waste of money, too. For example, my daily driver is a '92 Ford Bronco with 4x4 and 5.0 engine in it. The thing is an absolute pig and with a 30 gallon tank, it costs almost $70 to fill it up. Thankfully, I work from home. When gas prices went through the roof this past summer, it took me more than $130 to fill it up. Even still, the fact of the matter is that I bought the truck used and paid cash for it. By doing so, I'm saving nearly $800 a MONTH over what I was paying for the loan and insurance on the brand new Mustang GT that it replaced. When you buy a new car, you're paying a loan, higher insurance costs, and absorbing very rapid depreciation. Gas prices may very well spike back up to $3 a gallon this summer, and I'll still be ahead of the game driving my gas-guzzling V-8 SUV.

In fact, it was marketed as "the GTO for those under 30" (sic).

Re: [Chevelle-list] 3.73 or 4.56?
if small block you will be rev. high with 4.56 track use mostly would work better with a big block--3.73 are a good all around gear--- I have 3.90 in my small block---at 60 r.p.m.s are 3500 - Original Message - From: "J. Brady" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Chevelle Group" Sent: Monday, November 28, 2005 4:24 PM Subject: [Chevelle-list] 3.73 or 4.56? OK folks, I have the opportunity to use 3.73 or 4.56 gears in the 10-bolt posi I'm going to put in the '66. The car has a 300+/-HP 327 and PG. Anyone have any thoughts or previous experience with the 4.56 gears and the PG/small block setup? I drive the car to local shows, and want to be able to take it to Cecil on occasion. A relative told me to do the 4.56s and nothing less, thus my indecision. Thanks, Jim __ Yahoo! Mail - PC Magazine Editors' Choice 2005 http://mail.yahoo.com
