Chuck gets some free TV advertisp00get lol

on horsepower tv's 427 MN-12 build, they used chuck's mounts and even gave him some on-air recognition by giving his site name :bowdown: pretty freakin' cool in my book!

Yeah, they never bothered to tell me when was originally going to air, nor did they ever send me any of the (minor) swag they mentioned.  They asked for free parts, I gave them to them, never heard from them again.

It was cool and all, but the ONLY email I got was from some guy asking if I'd build motor mounts to put one of the BB I6's in his MN-12 (That he called "Jenny").  *facepalm*

That 427 is a 351-based engine, not an FE.

I'm not too worried about it. It's just rude, that's all. I didn't expect the mentions to be some kind of windfall or anything.

i was talking to graham on facebook and i said i wished they did a fox bird lol.. pretty sure they didn't call it a fox, though.. i'm almost certain they called it an MN-12.. i do know they did a quick review of all bird generations, so the fox was mentioned
