Talk:Chevrolet Big-Block engine

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I'm proposing that all engine code references in this article (and the Small Block article) have the hyphen removed. For example, "LS-5" would become "LS5".

My reasons are: (1) none of the books or articles I have read on Corvettes ever use the hyphen, and (2) Googlers don't either and this otherwise excellent article is therefore not found. Gtc131 03:50, 4 December 2007 (UTC)

Looks better.... thanks! —Mrand T-C 16:53, 4 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Undid of removal of section regarding Dick Slosar

No attempt needs to be made to list every emplyee; this man hand fabricated these extremely rare parts. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Toneron2 (talkcontribs) 04:10, 11 December 2007 (UTC)

I wasn't really clear. The problem is that one person doing some hand fabrication for one car is not really notable (see WP:NOTE) for an encyclopedia. Nor does his employment record further the understanding of big-block engines. For good or bad, this type of thing is something countless others have done on numerous other cars - it's something that is done all the time in a manufacturing environment. However, if you can find a VALID source for this claim, then obviously it is notable and we can keep it. Otherwise I'm afraid it needs to go.—Mrand T-C 20:39, 12 December 2007 (UTC)
