motor honey and gear lube

HAHAHA thats funny, it reminds me of a buddy back in High school that had a 77 or 78 ramcharger with a 318. He used to run 3 quarts of 80w-90 and 2 quarts of 20w-50 to get 4-10lbs of oil pressure. He drove that thing for 4 years that I know of like that and never did manage to blow it up. He finally ended up junking the truck, the body was rotted so bad it was falling off in chunks. He had talked about pulling the engine and keeping it because of the hell he put it through and it wouldn't blow. But in the end he decided it was easier to drive it too the scrap yard then drag it there.

No after a while it was, lets just see how long this thing will go. He did manage to overheat it and lock it up at least twice that I know of. He just let it sit for a day or 2 and then it would fire back up and run.
