I assume these are to join something post 1970 to the V8 engine block where some genius decided that rather than changing the machining to put a different hole and thread in the block they would instead create a special part in the form of an imperial metric bolt?

Is 3/8-16 = 3/8 UNC?

I'm still trying to find something to fit into the threaded holes in the back of my V8 heads. Getting hold of imperial bolts here is quite tricky and I have to order them in small quantities online and it is getting quite frustrating

yeah 3/8 UNC. These bolts probably will fit those bosses in the head if its later. intake bolts and starter bolts share the same threads HOWEVER, the starter bolts are a 10mm hex. I used to jank the above 12mm bolts from dead engines to reuse for that purpose.
Its from an exhaust manifold of a bmw era rover. prior to them iirc it was 1/2" but don't hold me on that, been a while.

somebody who's actually good at stats should make plots showing, with inflation adjustments: price of gas, price of a Honda Civic (longest-running name I could come up with right now), average wages, and maybe some road trip essentials like a can of Coke or a pack of cigarettes.

Or maybe graphing percent change since the first year would allow you to put them all on one graph and more easily make comparisons.

When I first moved out here and started working at the dealership they had me work as a lube tech for a little while. Pretty much half my immediate coworkers were car guy millennials.

Seemed to me they all either romanticized working on cars, like it was a trade from back when men were men and cars were cars, or grew up in the shadow of Paul Walker and autistically obsessed over horsepower, boost and compressor wheel size numbers communicated to them in glib youtube videos.

One thing I will say in their defense is they might never work on their own poo poo, but it's not their fault they came of age in a time when housing is insane and they can barely afford to share a studio apt that doesn't even have an offstreet parking spot let alone a full garage.

These are end times for car guys.

We've also spent that last 15 years throwing loan money at kids and screaming that college is the only way to get a good paying job.

In 10 years when the boomers retire, nobody is going to have any idea how to keep *anything* in good repair. From basic house lights to the power grid, from the fridge to any (draw) bridge.

Watching them get run over when their form of rebellion is limited to rioting in the streets will be somewhere either hilarious or horrifying.

Like BART is breaking all the time and they dont know why. whats maintenance?! E: good example of bad engineering period. Cutting edge and custom components just mean expensive parts and downtime 50 years later.
