Have a lead on one a couple of hours away. How big are these things? (Lengthwise...) If it's a go, will I be able to fit it in the trunk of the...
When it rains, it pours... While waiting to hear back from the seller on whether the GMC is a 302, I fell into another 235. This one is reported...
New 235 / 261 Manifold (link) Thoughts?
