I wonder if his dad had a '55 Windsor? If that was the
only engine he ever saw in one, I guess the 331 would
look funny to him... ...funny story though, Ron...

I still remember high school auto shop and hearing one
of the Chevy fans say in disbelief, "...you mean there
are spark plugs under those covers?... ...And the
spark plugs actually go THROUGH the valve covers?...
These old MoPars sure are wierd..."
