I've been trying to convince him to put the 422ci into his Suburban <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

Either that, or sell it to PSJ. <img border="0" alt="[Burnout]" title="" src="graemlins/burnout.gif" />

It'll be sold. Any offers?

The SS will probably get a big engine one day (probably right after warranty) but I doubt this 'Vette will. I'll save that for the C6.
