He was referring to Russ Meeks' car, which is powered by a GMC six. These
engines were introduced in 1937 and produced until the late Fifties, in
270- and 302-inch versions. They were never used in passenger cars - only
trucks. Their applications ranged from pickups through dump trucks to
massive US Army trucks. 

Russ likes to be different. When you see his car, you'll realize he's
doing a pretty good job of it.
