96" Harley, Pan bottom w/ lightened S&S 4 5/8" wheels, shovel top w/ 3 5/8" Manley slugs, Dual plug Jerry Branch heads fired by Morris Mag, Andrews BH cam, S&S Super D w/ 2 Thunderjets. 38" long 1 3/4" drag pipes- NO baffles.
Naw, dual plugs smoothes them out a little more than that. LOL As for the 409, Google is your friend, but don't believe everything you read. http://www.songfacts.com/detail.php?id=4567
I had a few hot teachers and this thread totally had me excited until I clicked on the title. Entertaining anyway.
It is not a 409. The Beach Boys themselves have stated that. It was a 348 in a car owned by Gary usher.
Could be either one! That guy's going fast when he's asleep! As for the thread, I've always thought of a Harley sound.
I think I've done the same thing..... flip it on with a fork in it? nah..... there's worse.. Dryer Sheets?
I wonder if that's how the Ozark Mountain Daredevils got started. maaan I want my car to sound just like Chicken Train. Oh lazerbeam in my jeans can't get it on can't get it off, oh chicken train just a runnin' all day. . .
Man, this thread reminds me. My French teacher from 7th grade was smok'n hot. Never did learn much French though. I sure studied hard, just not the lessons. Then again my 9th grade Spanish teacher, was over the top as well. I did learn a little Spanish despite that. I was a bit more focused by then. Sí, me gusta. Ella es caliente.
Awe Man!!! NO HOT teachers !! just songs....... But I did like the roadster pic. Dang near as good as a hot teacher..
I love the sound of the beat and it definately mimics a lot of different motors, however I believe it is a dragster/ top fuel that he was going after, and if you watch Led Zepplin song remains the same video, Bonham was in a dragster on the footage while the sound was his drum solo, if you watch the header flames on the dragster he is driving, the drums match it to a T.
Can't embed it but if you're looking for more "engine" wanna be sound-alikes you can't exclude Brigitte Bardot - Harley Davidson. That Montrose bit has me wanting to hear "Kickstart My Heart".....BAD!
Holy cow TTT! Did we go to the same middle school? How did you get a pick of my French teacher? Well, pretty darn close anyway. She wasn't quite that smok'n, but seriously not too far off. She tended to wear pants usually and the skirts were a bit closer to the knees, but otherwise a close ringer. Cuing up the VH now. Speaking of that. How could no one have posted up the youtube on that yet for proper reference?
