   Both my daughters were small back then, so the Camaro wasn't that great for   
   driving them around town.  I do like the fact that my current 2002 Monte Carlo   
   has plenty of room in the back seat.  It is a very long car and people find it   
   hard to believe that I average 27-28 mpg in it.

   That seemed to be the popular swap for that car.  We were going to do the same   
   thing, but never ended up doing it.

   The 69 Chevelle was a 305, not a big block.  At it's peak was getting in the   
   14-16 sec range on the 1/4 mile.
