[GORDON HUMMEL]

I would conside myself a Do it yourself kind of guy, & I would always want the advantages of a DDEC controlled engine. I think it was also @ that time that they went to the silver engine replacing the green. When I went on the road full time I sold my LS2 powered GTO. Was the best GM car I ever had, with performance & mileage that could never be rivialed with a mechanical engine. Very tuneable if desired.
I believe there is a group that work on hot roding the old 2 strokes if more power is needed.
I have always told people to stay away from the old green engines. They're asked how to tell if a green one was painted silver?.....Just check for oil leaks!
