If OrigianlHO is one of the "old guys" here, what does that make me???...

A guy one year ahead of me in high school was the son of a well-to-do farmer, and was driving a brand-new '57 Tri-Power Pontiac to school (we're still friends- he's now well-off himself, but refuses to quit farming at age 70!). In '59 he built up a bored-out '58 engine for his car (2-door hardtop, but I don't remember which model), and I bought the stock Tri-Power 347 from him. I put it into my '37 Buick Special opera coupe and have been swapping Pontiac engines into various vehicles ever since!
