Inflation Is A MotherFucker

So trying to get ahead of the enormous learning curve building this flathead. I picked up a few books to go over. Lots of good hints and tips and things to look out for. First one is this little guy. I got about ten pages in and saw the money figures for motors and cores and started laughing. I went back and saw that this book was originally printed in 1981. WTF seriously and as I got farther it says shit like " Go ahead a buy the good oil, its only a dollar a qt." Well now that good oil is like 8-10 dollars a qt. so my 400 dollar block in 2014 money is worth like 1 billion dollars. Hilarious and terribly sad at the same time. It's new years eve and I hope all you folks out there got someone to kiss. Later. Last post of the year. Weird
