Not to mention Chevy 283's (popular displacement?) and Chrysler 273's.
:^) Reminds me of a pronouncement by a self-proclaimed "car expert" I
once worked with that said "there was two sizes of small-block Mopar
engines: 340 for Plymouths and 360 for Dodges". Groan!
My least favorite car-show comment: usually two guys walk past, both
with MG or Triumph t-shirts, one mentions to the other "just hot rods;
cannot handle worth a d*mn".
Last fall at a car show, where the Garage Queen was the only sports car,
some lady points it out to her son: "Look, it's Austin Power's car".

Yesterday evening, while I was mowing the lawn, it occurred to me that
there's some movement of the rear brake cylinder on a stock Tiger's rear
brakes -- and guess what kind of brake lines they have? Any instances of
brake line failure on stockers back there?
