Well today I went and looked at a paint booth to do some changes to the lighting he has in the booth. Everything plugs in with cords.. Anyhow he had a 440 on an engine stand in his show room.. He said yup thats a 440. Then decided he wanted to quiz me on it. He asked me what the build date of the engine was. So naturally I go to look at the stamp pad in front of the intake.. He says to me.. Thats not the build date, its cast into the side of the block... I told him Umm thats the date and time they cast the block. It was a T440 E I believe it was a 72 440 from a truck. Either way it was a low compression engine. Then I asked him. How could they build the engine the same day they cast the block.. LOL I mean sure they could but would that be reliable? Anyhow I sure hope he was messing with me.
 
You did say that all of his paint booth lights were done with plugs :rolleyes:
Yea, Im going to fix that though. He mentioned that it takes him 20 minutes to plug in all the lights before he can paint lol. But the dude does have some Mopars thats why I was dumbfounded when he said what he did about the build date.
 
Sometimes you have to school people or they think they know it all. Good for you and good luck on the booth.
