Fuelie heads were developed for the injected small blocks that came in three sizes starting with the 265 cubic inch V8 of 1957. Later upped to 283 then 327 cubes, the fuel injection option was expensive and gradually lost popularity as cheaper big blocks put out equal muscle with less hassle. 1965 was the last year for the injected 327 (only available in the Corvette) and the first for the new Chevy big block 396. And to make matters more confusing, you could order a high performance 327 small block with fuelie heads, but not fuel injection.

Orignally developed by legendary Corvette chief engineer Zora Arkus Duntov, fuelie heads were still in use in the early 1970s on what was one of the all time great small bocks - the LT1 350 available in both the Camaro and Corvette. With the death of the non-injected LT1, Chevrolet finally retired fuelie heads on their small block V8s.

I ran this through google translate and all I back got was "Dude, if you have to ask, you're not worthy."

The clue is in what's absent from that quote: i.e. mention of any big block engine, which the 396 was. All of the big engines were carbureted, so they could not have had "fuelie" heads, or cylinder heads used on fuel-injected engines.

Trust me, this was a serious unforced error of lyricism back in my bench-racing days.

Imagine being a cop, pulling over a car and it's Bruce Springsteen...

He was on a motorcycle, pulling away from an empty bottle of Patron tequila. He failed his field sobriety test and then refused to provide a blood sample.

Fame can lead folks to believe they can get away with a lot of things. I hope he gets the help he needs to avoid putting the public at risk.

I wonder who nabbed him — a “Highway Patrolman” or a “State Trooper”...

It was a park police officer, as he was in Gateway National Recreation Area at the time.

You missed the intent of my post. Those are two relevant pop culture references, for anyone interested in figuring them out.

Sorry.

No worries, dude - lighten up.

I guess no one's up to the task, so:

“Highway Patrolman” and “State Trooper” are the names of two songs on Springsteen's Nebraska album.

I don't take DWI lightly, but I do appreciate the insight into your comment.
