Nah. They just ran out of cylinder.
I say that whenever I lose a race.
4 was not enough.
There was a time when only eight cylinders would do....
I had an old Nova, and that 350 was such a sweet engine. Not too much, but plenty big enough. There wasn’t a piece on it you couldn’t buy at Checker Auto. My father drove it up into the mountains every day back when he worked for Magma in Superior, AZ. He gave it to me when he was through with it, and I drove it for another 10 years. I think I had 175K on the odometer.
