Old news my ass!!! 5 days does not make something of this magnitude old news! Anyone who has ever had their head under the hood and oil on their hands will mourn this loss for a long, long time!

farCry you're an Asshat. He died on the 25th. I heard about it on the 27th this post started on the 29th. How is that AT ALL old news.

I think that would be John Delorean and Jim Wangers. John E Lingenfelter, among many other things, could get warp speed from Chevy engine/chassis....Rico

This is a truly sad day. To say that he was (and still is) a god to the Chevy engine is an understatement. I only hope that whoever continues to carry the flag at LPE took good notes from a great engine builder.
