Is the exhaust you are going to use from the 502 going to work with the 489 you plan on putting in ? Surely the 489 isn't like a mega mild 400hp 502.

Let it be. Sometimes you just gotta put up with a little humor in life. Is what it is. Maybe just have your wife post if you would like some help while you fix dinner and do the laundry. I'd even bet she would know where the serial number is on a Chevy.

That's what happens when you hit the pipe to early in the day and don't pass it off. Even though you are fken brilliant in your own mind you tend to forget the simple things...
