Hard to believe that's essentially the original Corvette engine!
Well, that "old timer" thing will sneak up on you.....

To delay the onset, I suggest ..... cars. Forget motorcycles and having affairs .... cause they can hurt you .... cars just cost money .....

Yep, much the same engine .... but the C-1 had a high lift cam and sidedraft carbs. Mine had downdraft carbs ..... cause I had LOTS of hood space ....
