barrett-jackson.com. ( electrical fritzing ) ( rock music playing ) last week on muscle car workout, we did a complete disassembly on the 1971 barracuda and took the '68 cutlass for a heated workout on the dyno. this week, we're gonna take apart that convertible, but first, i'm gonna go to the head shop to check out the motor for the nova. a couple of weeks ago, alan sent out the nova head to have some work done, and kris, who's the cylinder head porter here, has been working on it diligently. so can you tell us like what goes into the work? well, what we do is we choose a cylinderead casting to start with that goes with the cubic inch and the rpm of the engine to get a good base on it. then what we do is we get all the specifics-- weight of the car, usage of the car, whether it's gonna be drag or street, and then we try to incorporate porting into the head to get the best possible product for the car. now for alan's nova, he's converting it into a street car. so what type of rpms is he looking to get out of it? a street car has to be able to have manners. operating range of 25-2,800

barrett-jackson.com. ( electrical fritzing ) ( rock music playing ) in the debut of muscle car workout, we gave you a full rundown on our body shop, fender mender, in new smyrna beach, florida. we also got a first look at a 1968 cutlass that our customer, jim cook, recently purchased, and we began the disassembly of a 1971 plymouth barracuda slated for a full frame-off update. first thing on the agenda today is to lift the motor out of the car. okay, megan. we're gonna take this motor out of here today. we'll get the carburetor out first. okay. sounds like a play? a plan. a plan. yep. okay. let's get the carburetor, and we'll put the motor plate on here. let's get the fan blade off, and let's get that upper radiator hose off. i learned that you just can't simply take a motor out of a car. you can't just pick it up and take it out. there's actually a whole procedure that goes along with it. i don't think i had a huge expectation of what was gonna happen, but i did think it was gonna be a lot easier. i knew it was heavy, but i didn't know there were so many different steps before you act

i also want to say a special thank you to my classmates, to fritz donovan and the class -- the harvard class of 1959, several of whose members are here today. you make me feel very much at home. as i was listening to brian speaking about this book, i found myself questioning, wondering whether it's really an antiwar book. it's called "reasons to kill: why americans choose war" and i don't think i wouldn't have written it if i didn't believed the united states has become involved in too many unjust wars. but on the other hand, the question that i'm asking, why do americans choose war goes in a way beyond the question of which wars do you like and which wars do you not like? it goes to the question of how we become convinced that a war is worth fighting? or not. because one of the things one finds very quickly when doing research on a subject like this, the ubiquity, the strength, the power of antiwar movements in the united states. with the exception of world war ii, there's never been a major war in america that hasn't generated a sanction antiwar movement and because of that, that rai

senator fritz told me last month that it was the biggest mistake he made. he said it indeed pushed up, and i don't think it is very much that issue. at the most of you would probably say it is not necessary and we should not have allowed it at the time. whether we can roll it back and not, i do not know. does anyone have a political view? >> i guess a related comment, and this -- >> it was a political deal over our very strong objections. we knew better. >> this speaks, i think, to the important. a fancy way of saying, let's get the information on line. the fda does a terrific job of assessing the safety and efficacy of medicines on the front-end. once they are actually in practice we are not equipping doctors and patients with the information that they need to make the best decision, which will really be a powerful force. perhaps a more persuasive force and marketing. if a patient can log onto the internet and see that there are three medications for my condition and for people like me generally speaking this one does best. lo and behold, it may cost a fra
