How hard did Ken and Toby twist that poor little 2000 cc Pinto motor in the D/MC car?

Regarding the old trailer, we need to get a portable blaster and clean that thing, LOL! Like we discussed last weekend. I think I last painted that trailer in 1985-6, something like that. I've had that old thing since what, 1976. Got the wife scared to death, told her, when I start receiving my pension money from Arvin's in November, we may take a trip down to Georgia and buy one of those 26 foot econo enclosed trailers.
That old D/MC car, it went to at least 11K. I know they did alot work with cams and followers, being an OHC engine. As you recall, I was pretty much on my own by then, didn't spend alot of time with that car. On that note, stopped by to talk with Toby a week or so ago, he wasn't at work that day. Haven't talked to him for 3-4 years. My wife has spoken with him, said he wants to give me a hard time for resurrecting the old Nova. Last I knew, he still had both the D/MC car AND the stocker. I believe, his mother sold off the old homestead and he's gotten divorced since then, who knows what may have become of those cars?
