Drove by Outback on 441 last night at 6 pm and there were 3-4 police cars all with lights flashing and blocking off the parking lot at Outback. When we went back by at 8:30 they were all still there. Not a mention in any of the news outlets this morning. Wondering what it was all about?

It doesn’t look very big. Unless it’s *your* car tire in it, I suppose.
I think they call it a depression, but it might be due to technical stuff.

I read the article. Nowhere did it place blame.

From the story; "It was not immediately clear whether the tire went down into a collapsed drain pipe or a sinkhole."

I put a L88 427 in my 67 Chevy II. I have since sold the car :(

Wow! Sweet. I once had a 66 Chevelle SS I dropped one into; was the baddest one in NE AR for awhile years ago; ran it at George Ray’s Wildcat Drag Strip in Paragould, AR.

From the factory, they come with a 396 right? When I was a young man my girlfriends brother had one and let me drive it a couple of times. Heavy duty clutch for sure. It was a beast.

Depends which version 396 it had, 325 hp, 350 hp or the elephant 360 hp solid lifers 11 to 1 396 which was more like 400 plus hp, it was the bad boy on the street. The problem with them you has to keep it tune which included adjusting the lifters regularly or it turned into rattle can and soon ran like crap or bent pushrods. Few dealers could put vette 427s in them or you could buy one over the counter and install it. L88s was very rare in anything but vette’s and few had them.
