The NASCAR Intrepid will be a sight for sore eyes. But for the
future I would like to see something along the lines of the Charger
or Charger R/T. Mainly for GS's selfish reasons. ;)

Yes to the OHC, but at least allow us the right to access our
own vehicles computer to make the changes we deem necessary, whether
its adding more torque for hauling, more control over AF ratios for
mpg or performance. This would really add some versatility to that
work truck.

Feeling sentimental Shaun? Seems I recall you had a few names for the
318 and it wasn't (ol')...hehe. ;) I've spanked many chebbie 350s with
my ol' 318, so I know it at least has more power or my setup is at least
more efficient than chebbies.

My truck is what I consider a cruiser. It gets me work and back 80
miles round trip per day and thats all it has to do right now. Maybe
hall a camper or boat in the future.
