The seller has quite a command of the written word, or maybe "ruint" is just sprinkled in there for character. Must be an old timer if he knows about double hump heads. An interesting read to be sure!

Literally, if I were to sit down and purposely write a spoof ad, I couldn't do any better than that.

I cannot get over the big block double hump heads. I have to show this to my dad. He has built many many sbc in his time and from the mid 70s till the early 90s stood firmly by the 300-375 horse double hump heads. He is gonna roll when I show him this.

ROTFL You sir, are the definition of a character! Hats off!
And I didn't know a small block looks like a big block. I thought it looked kinda... smaller. Learn something new every day. So does this mean I can put my double hump heads on a big block? THAT should be an interesting first turn of the key! KA-BLOOEY!

Some people should just stick to riding a bicycle their whole lives.
He might be the reason why kids now have to use helmets to ride their bikes.
