Yeah, it sounded pretty sweet with the 671 spinning. It's on the '56 F100 pictured below....beautiful truck.

WOW!

MoPar power - somebody finally figured out how to make a Ford product reliable.




The History of the 392 HEMI

The original 392 HEMI engine was introduced in the new 1957 model year Chryslers and Imperials. It replaced the 354 cubic-inch version of the original HEMI launched in 1951.

Compared with the 354, the 392 was completely revised and improved, with larger valves and ports, a beefier block and crankshaft, and improved bearings. In short, the 392 HEMI, often referred to simply as the “92,” was perfect for drag racing.

More than a few racers bolted on six or eight carburetors, slipped in a hotter cam, tipped some nitro into the tank and went racing. Racing legend Don Garlits ran a 392 in his Swamp Rat I at record speeds of over 180 mph on nitro with no supercharger. Garlits also used a 392 HEMI to officially break the 200-mph barrier when his Swamp Rat went 201.34 mph at Atco, N.J. in 1964.

My office manager's father and grandfather built an '46 ford with a 392 and a hand cast intake manifold with 8 single barrel carbs, won the Oakland Roadster show about a million years ago. Very yellow, still has it. The grandfather was crew chief on an Indy 500 winner, saw the ring

Countries that still do not use the Metric System

i don't see mel brooks in there anywhere :)

UK not included?? don't they do still use MPH for traffic
i think Ireland recently changed all traffic signs, but UK hasn't

and i was once told that when it comes to engineering,serious engineering such as Nasa, submarines and jets, in the US the standard is Metric
i think it was an ex Boomer submariner who told me that, can't remember

Base 12 is much better for most things. Divisible by 2, 3, 4 and 6.

Makes for better proportions and better balance in architecture and other things.

Metric was dumbed down for those that count with their fingers..


Miles per hour is a much better scale. 100 is fast. kph is slow.

Fahrenheit as well. 100 degrees is Hot! And 0 degrees is cold!

100C and your dead. A scientific system forced on poor humans..:p

Yeah, the UK uses mph, pounds, stones, pints, etc....

NASA also has issues remembering if they are adding up in metric or not.. makes for costly creators in mars
