It's Chevy Time!

Sitting around lately watching the clock go round and round during this 'hide under your bed' order, I take note of certain times. If I look at the clock and it's 3:50, it's Chevy time! 4:54 Chevy time! 3:27, 4:00, 4:09, 4:27 Chevy time! It also works for lesser brands. 3:26, 4:55, 3:51, 4:28, 3:18, 4:26. Thinking about this I would like to lobby for Father Time to change from 60 60 second minutes in an hour to 100 36 second minutes so we could include 2:83, 3:83, 3:96. Yeah I'm bored. Can't wait for this hysteria to end.
What's your favorite 'Chevy time'?

Morning mark I have been filling my time up with putting all new brakes on my show truck, a few new mods on the camaro detailing both of them. Building shelfs in the back garage for a few trophies. Baby sitting the neighbors houses while their all stuck some place.
Say high to the best half for me and Karen. Stay safe

I like it, a new game to play, look at the clock and "name that engine"!

Extra points for who made it and what's it in.

This could be fun! It also means people have been cooped up WAY too long! lol

Cool idea though, name that engine and who made it. I like it!

I found myself a little bored this afternoon.

Looked at the clock and noticed it was 3:31.

dont forget the 4:02. Had one in my 72 Monte. IIRC back in late 70s, early 71 the warehouse that Chevy stored the engine blocks in, either flooded, or somehow had water damage which pitted the cylinder walls of a lot of 396 blocks. in order to fix the issue and not waste a ton of usable 396 motors, GM bored the 396 and made the 402. there are 396 badged cars from that era that actually had 402s not 396s.

i kinda miss that car. sold it to fund the Camaro purchase. it was a number matching car.

i had an incident with a tire deciding it didnt want to be a tire anymore while i was on the highway @70mph. THe tread seperated and destroyed the fender, inner fender, ripped the power steerinf hose, messed up a coulpe of very hard to find trim pieces. i decided that since i had to remove most of the dog hpuse, that i would go ahead and cleanup and paint the engine bay. I removed the motor, gave it fresh gaskets and coat of paint.
