Yeah, well some great cosmic revelation must have just struck, as the
chevies are now like the fords, except they put a vortex (is it turbo
or superch) so they could make more h.p.  Check the ford vs gm hp/torque
curve (pre-'96 and vortex, TBI) and note that only 10 h.p. diff between
ford 302 and gm 350.
