Hi Mr. Yount!

Happy Sat-Your-Day!

Windows down / rear vents open on your LS-powered 282 or do you have your ice-cicle cowld AC on during your sojourn you relate in your report here?

I'll bet your 282 emissions are really clean, also!

Versus, say some lead foot in a K-jet or LH-Jet redblock in good tune, yet they floor it and not enough ooooomph to over come the inertia, so, dumps fuel out that tail pipe.

A good argument for 240 or other RWD Volvo conversion to modern or not so modern yet well-tuned V8. (Or maybe V6? Do folks convert redblock to V6?)

(Or I'll continue to drive stock shabby-chic 240 like a little owld man with light foot on the gas and brake pedal with M47 II.)

Thank you.
