Chevrolet introduced the L-78 396 Corvette in February 1965. This is a Christmas Eve 12-24-64 casting. The finalized part number was stamped in the square pad of the casting. This manifold was extensively ported and runners were balanced by Jay Cotton. With a modified Holley 950cfm HP, my 538cid made an astonishing 831 horsepower. Original dyno sheet included. The sleeper engine with this dual plane intake and a 200 hp small nitrous plate propelled the vette to an 8.65 @ 158 quarter mile at Bakersfield 3 years ago with huge wheel stands.

Bridgestone’s ‘We’ve been everywhere’ Road Trip prize giving
Fri, 09 Aug 2013Bridgestone’s ‘I’ve been everywhere’ Road Trip Flogging tyres isn’t the easiest job in the world; we all need them – at intervals far too regular than we’d like – but buyers tend to fall in to two camps – those who know a brand and ask for it by name, and those that have put on their car whatever the man at Kwik Fit is pushing this week. So ‘Brand Awareness’ is the name of the game (a game that can backfire – just ask Pirelli what’s going on in F1) and the more potential buyers a tyre brand can lodge its name in the brain of, the better. Which is why Bridgestone are running their We’ve been everywhere interactive campaign which very cleverly plots the escape of one man from office drudgery and showcases his journey out in to the proper world, all to a soundtrack of Johnny Cash’s ‘I’ve been everywhere’.
