Why didn’t anyone tell me owning a bigger car was this cool

[Purepony]

I wish someone would have told me that owning a b body was awesome !!!
Put back my oil pan and hit the road.
So far no leaks but ..... I’m a bit concerned because I torqued the bolts to about 6-9 ft pounds

I did 15 like it said in the manual before and it keeps leaking and the gasket looked crushed in certain areas

this time I used a reusable gasket so I’m hoping if it gets loose I can just tighten it a bit more

just excited to get back on the road

so far two drives, one uphill and during traffic on a hot day and the other to get gas and no leaks.

let’s see tomorrow when I put it on The freeway.

It’s because a B-body is not a bigger car, it’s the right car.

B bodies are perfect sized cars.

I am the proud owner of an A-body '74 451 Duster 727 trans. (setup for 10 sec index drag racing) A B-Body near stock street '69 GTX 440 4-speed. And a crazy Pro Street E-body '70 Cuda (Monster engine)

I can say with little hesitation that the B-body is where my heart lies. It's flat out higher build quality from factory. A true muscle car. A&E bodies are pony cars. C-bodies are full size luxury. My B-body '69 GTX. No 4 door options. No 6 cyl or Small block option. It was "Muscle" or bust!

Quick walk around vid of that car. (Plenty here on B-body site probably tired of my vid?) But too bad! Lol.

Far out, man. Copasetic.

Totally agree. I'm not comfortable in anything smaller. B-bodies have always fit me perfect.

20,000 plus people on this site could have told you.

...uh, what gasket?

 

[WileE]

To B... or not to B... that is the question. (Answer: to B !!!!!!!!!! )

 

[66383]

I have a B

 

[Runcharger]

I like E-bodies because they leave a little extra room in the garage but the B's are nice on the road (especially 71-72's) and great for packing all your buddies into for cruising.

Bigger?? It's funny I always thought of them as big too until mine was parked next to my Chevy Cruze, it might be longer but it's surprisingly shorter and weights about the same. I agree it's hard to beat them when it comes to smiles, I've built other cars and quickly got bored with them but every time I look at mine I get a big **** eating .

The worst part is that once you own one satellite regardless of the year or generation then you want another one

I keep looking at 71-72
66-68
I’m going crazy lolz
