PRI show, What's new and what's just cool.

I wanted to make it to PRI but I didn't. What did you see that is new for our community and is there any new power adders?

IDT Eliminator had a A-Head blower intake that was pretty cool

I saw today that they had a 500cu "small block" based off a Cleveland at the show.

What was new about the cars, cause I know they didn't just bring the cars thinking someone gives a rats ass.

By the way, I thought the Cleveland was considered a "big block"? I thought they where just as large as the 385 series.

Not even close ... the block decks are shorter than a 351 Windsor.
And, more than a whole inch shorter than a 385 series block.

The "MODIFIED" block may mistakenly have sometimes been called big a block.

Nothing with a 4.38 bore space is a big block.


And lots of new stuff was hinted at the show. Lots of new cars and sounds like 2016 will be a great year.

My bad, my ignorance is showing.

Hopefully they will stop hinting and start making, I like seeing new Ford 385 parts.

He's Chucky Cheeeez's big brother...

I'm pretty sure Mississippi is the reason for all the new cars.
