Does this remind anyone else of the MASH episode where Klinger was eating a

a few weeks and he could send his vanilla ice cream (see "The Joshua Nelson
Story") home. He would have a free Jeep.

I think it would be vary hard to find a classic 304", more than
likely they've bin replaced by an earlier high compression 360" or maybe
