[Shotimes] RE: Gen I vs. Gen II:::::was:Wizard of Codes::Fwd: flashing air bag light

[James White]

The first Toranado in '66 had a 427 CID which was later bumped to 455.  When
GM downsized the  car in '77 the motor shrank to a 350.

Caddy Eldos were much the same, except they offered a full 500 CID motor
from '70 to '76.  MAybe that is the powertrain the Fiero guys lust after?
