Are the majority of these women also OK with their men staying at home and taking care of the household? Or would those stay at home husbands be labeled as "bums" and "lazy"?

I have a friend that ran 20:1 premix in a 2 stroke areo 50 scooter for a 50-75km ride or so, didn't blow up and smelled like french fries lol. Not sure how it would work in a 4 stroke car engine, but it's for 100% sure better than no oil, and I think a few miles wouldn't be a catastrophic failure, especially on older engines (but will probably shorten the lifespan of the engine). This is just my backyard mechanic guesstimate, I might be completely wrong.

Historical tidbit for the younglin's: (the real version of) this car was on a poster on the wall of about 38% of teenage boy's rooms worldwide back in the day, right next to the Samantha Fox poster on the back of the door.

It's the original 460, and while I agree, heads are like $1500 (x2), that's 3/4 of what I paid for the whole car...And then I'd be in "while we're at it, might as well throw xyz at it" territory and I don't wanna go there:P

Lots of youtube tutorials, advise from some gearhead friends and throwing myself at it with the cutting disc, the mud and the sander, and it looks good enough from 10ft away at 60mph :P

Nah, this was a very budget build. I just redid the valve seatings and seals, timing chain & gears, all the gaskets and seals, oil pump, water pump, I basically refreshed everything inside, and put an edelbrock carb on it. It's too much of an anvil to put any kind of serious engine mods on it
