[@rickeygeetv6197]

This is one of the funniest rap songs of all time! Sir-Mix-A-Lot does not get the credit that he deserves from the mainstream. This is an absolute classic!

[@rickeygeetv6197]

@Max William Lauf You're right. He is Seattle's favorite citizen. I have been a fan of his since 1988. My favorite song was Beepers. However, most people only know him for his hit song " Baby Got Back".

1diggitech the 430 is the exact same as the 455 . Minus bore or stroke. What you probably ran against was a 455 with low compression. 71-76 blue engines. Get up against a high compression red painted 70 stage 1 455, no chance for that 430. I have two Buick 455, one bored out to 464, 9.5:1 CR, sitting in my 69 Rivi, and an other stock block waiting for work. both out of 73-74 cars, but the stock low compression engine is a dog compared.
