Most of the questions I have heard involved Pontiacs, you guys wouldnt get them so I wont go there. I have been told "Nice Camaro" when I am driving a Cougar, ok so they both start with C. Also had someone a while back who swore up and down that the FE engine series wasnt a big block. He said only the 429/460 was and FEs were never big blocks. Its always something like that, people say they have a BOSS 302 and its just a 2v 302 from a Granada, but it is a BOSS.

In the "Strange but not stupid" book, on the "I WISH IT WAS MINE" page, there is a old dump truck with a BOSS 429 in it up here. Yeah a real plugs through the valve covers HUGE engine with FORD on it in a freakin dump truck. He has had it for years, so when the engine in the truck went, he chucked the BOSS in it, since it sorta bolted up and all. Yeah I know what you are thinking... Yeah I need to get some pics, but he wont let me near it again.

Most of the stupidest questions about Mustangs I've heard have been asked by me. Someone asked me the other day (my hood was up and the carb was off...intake exposed) if it was a 2 or 4v. A ricer I know suggested that I put on new carbon fiber panels so that I can street race.

Just because the plugs are through the valve covers doesn't mean it is a hemi. The hemi has a hemispherical combustion chamber in the heads. The ford flathead wasn't a hemi
