Buick V-6, was Prowler V6

[Todd....!!]

Know a guy with a sonic checker, (His handle is 451)

He bought it JUST to verify whether or not all old wives tales spread
around about different blocks are true!

Well, thus far, he's not believing ANY of em.

None of the blocks checked so far verify what all has been spread about
any of em!

I even created a site with most of his findings thus far at:
http://www.c-com.net/~atc347/sonic/

Check it out, if you hav any hard evidence of ANY facts about block
thickness or casting tricks and hints, e-mail em to me, I'll run em past
451 and see what he has to say bout em!

Take er easy all!
