RE: DIY_EFI Digest V5 #52Amen,
  one case of where racing tech., didn't work on the street
  Grumpy

  I was a mechanic at a chevy dealer when the Vegas came out.  I might =
mention that they won motor trends car of the year award, and GM built a =
new highly automated plant to build them.  The motors could be made to =
live by putting steel sleeves in them and I did quite a few of them.  =
The bodies rusted worse than the motors blew up.  I spent many a night =
putting V8s in them and tearing up the streets.  All in all GM learned a =
lot about building cheap alum motors, it is a shame that the consumer =
had to pay for the experiment. =20
