Not rubbing it in, just saying, been there and face palmed:banghead3: I keep telling my honey, just wait until I get the 460 in the Beteor, 900HP factory stock with upgrades, 6" dual exhaust for each cilinder, complete with muffler bearings getting 90MPG.....that will show her!
You could always just slap a supercharger on the TBI you have. Would be a lot easier than changing an entire engine!
I'm with your Dad on this one. As always, Dad is right!!!! Now, put that Olds up for sale and go get what you really want (and need). They don't call them Roadmasters for nothing.... That's the only cure that will get you through this very awkward and embarrassing period in your life. Oh, and please pass on "good on you's" to your wife for us.
