i have a 1983 Winnebago Chieftain 30ft. It has a 502 BBC Holley 6pack, LG Pro Headers and twin glasspack exhaust. It originally had a 454 and i swapped it out for the 502.

(continued from my previous post)
Clarkson: It was just over a mile from the hitching point to the Alpine course,
but that was enough to give us a taste of what it's like to be a real lorry-driver.
For starters, there's the sheer number of gears.
First, into first and a half.
May: Second.
Hammond: Two and a half....
Hammond: Get in!
May: Get in!
Clarkson: And when you finally reach 18th gear, you get carved up and you have to start all over again.

When one of the men in the video says "If you can't find it [the right gear], grind it," it reminds me of a British Top Gear episode ("Top Gear: Truck Driving challenge part 1: Rig Stig & the power slide - Top") when its hosts - James May, Richard Hammond and Jeremy Clarkson - try to find the right gears to shift up to. Here's a bit of a commentary (continued in my next post):

@hondarider100r It is not a twin stick. It has a straight 5 speed.

It is not a straight 5 speed, it is a twin stick. 5 speed main (long shifter) and 4 speed brownie box (short shifter right next to drivers seat)
