Has a 1970 chevy Nova front sub frame, with drum brakes, if I keep it would like to upgrade to disk brakes, then again I don`t plan on racing it.

Hmmmmmm.......engine vs. motor.  Ever hear of a motor lathe? How about an electric engine? How about a fire motor? Or a blower engine? Need a new starter engine? LOL I'd say motors are electric powered, and engines are gas powered. But then why do they call lathes "engine lathes" when they run on electricity? I'm with Rays dad.......although I usually call 'em motors too, they really should be referred to as engines. |

OK - I just can't resist. How about "mill?" As in winding up your mill (then popping the clutch to do a burnout). I remember this from the 50's as a motor head - not engine head. ;D Nailhead: perhaps early engine lathes were driven through a system of gears, drive shafts and flat leather belts by a steam engine?  Perhaps I should just shup and go away. |

When I was a kid (still am ;D ) I was into go carts and mini-bikes. My dad used to call them "lawn mower MOTORS." I hated that.......  |
