    ...With a new '63 Chevy in front, which sold for around $3,000 back then and now go for $50, 000 - $60,000.

    Oh, yeah. The train was an excursion (Golden West Railfan Tours) that had stopped and let most of those folks off to take photos. I guess the others arrived in the cars parked there.

    Obviously, if it had a 350, it was a used car having had the engine replaced or bored out, right? "...got a lot of tail..." You mean squirrels got into it? :D

    Couldn't have been bored out to 350. A 327 at 60 over is only 336cid. A 350 is a 327 with just shy of a quarter inch more stroke added.

    283, 327 or 409 were your passenger car V-8 displacement options in 1963. First year for the 350 was during 1967.

    Wow, took a lot to keep those tea kettles running back then. Now it's maybe 7 workers to keep the diesels running...

    Now your just showing off. :D

    So, they had to redesign the block for the 350? Because it's still basically a Chevy small block.
