Well, I had to go look that up.   I drove a 78 Malibu for a little while 
and couldn't remember what the Ci was for that Engine.  Some of the auto 
parts dealers don't even list this size V8.  Maybe GM paid them too.  
Yes, I am talking about the 267.   What a waste and a bend under 
pressure from the government that engine was,  unlike the 289 that FORD 
made.  I hope they don't still make the 267.

And since we are on Auto's this week.   I am so excited about what Audi 
did.  Is anyone else??   I look for them to be shut out of racing again 
soon.  The crybabies will start with the unfair advantage soon. See the 
Audi R10 on their website.
