I've heard Andy is secretly working on a new book.
Here's a sneak preview...






Just ribbin' ya Andy!

He sent me an advance copy. I hate to play spoiler but I will.

1st chapter outlines finding a 440 to build, or finding the best deal on a megablock.

2nd chapter details removing the 413 from your car.

My apologies to the "low buck, grass roots, 1/4mi
1/8mi, warriors who have the LOVE for the sport
and the SPIRIT OF INNOVATION. Ignore the negative
posts and simply build what you desire to build.
Never "fall into the trap" of popular is best, or
got to have a certain engine,let me trade or junk
what I have. Sure there is a thing that there is
no replacement for displacement. That may not be
a universal rule for some of us. Run what you have, KNOW YOUR ENGINE AND IT'S LIMITATIONS whether it be a 225/6 or a 440 (and every displacement between the two). As far as you 440
guys honking about your buildups being better than
413's and 426's, I don't hear you squawking about SHUTTIN' DOWN HEMIS. Cmon now, they have 14 less
cubes than you, what's the problem. Could it be
some of you are simply "street bullies" that like
to pick on their lower displacement sibilings to the point of MAKING EVERYONE RUN 440's. Some
innovative spirit, guys. Get real. The horsepower
race is on the decline. TORQUE IN THE RIGHT RANGE,
and consistency will outweigh SOME horsepower
advantages. Parts break less, engine/trannies last much longer and the car is much more fun to drive. Don't get me wrong, horsepower IS needed
but torque is KING. Example: The Buick GS Series
Vehicles. Love them.
