Bob, if it has to be explained to you, then you don't get it at all. As for "no money", don't you root for Jay every time he's been at Drag Week? No money involved there either, only bragging rights, and I would bet that he has WAY more invested than that flathead, and a turbo small block could easily outrun him.
It's amazing what they did with that flathead. When you see how the pushrod set-ups are for that Ardun OHV, it's even more amazing.
