Since I repaired-ish the Avalanche I kinda have the bug to build another engine for the firebird. I was thinking a 6 litre with a nice thumpy cam, ported 799 or 243 heads. Maybe another Camaro?...I have lots of parts laying around still....

Finally some good friggin news on the Covid front:
According to the Brits, people who drink between 5 and 14 glasses of wine or liquor ("units") per week were 10-17% less likely to get Covid compared to those who drank more or less.
However, beer and cider actually increase your chances of getting the Cov by as much as 28%.
Study shows relationship between drinking wine and contracting COVID-19 (msn.com)
Pretty excited about that news as I can definitely stay within the sweet spot.
