<VV> Ed Cole> Tinkering?

[BBRT]

Ken, I love doing this.... LOL!

Ed Cole: "He then enrolled in General Motors Institute, where he was a 
member of the Phi Kappa Epsilon (now Pi Kappa Alpha) Fraternity. Cole was 
such a good student, that he was offered a job at GM before he graduated. 
Soon after Cole married his hometown sweetheart, Esther Engman.[2] He worked 
in engineering, rising to co-head a team (with Harry Barr) that developed 
the 1949 Cadillac V8. He was briefly assigned to run a GM plant in 
Cleveland, Ohio, when Chevrolet general manager Tom Keating requested his 
assignment as chief engineer.
He became chief engineer of the Chevrolet Division in 1952. His most 
important task was to develop a new engine for Chevy's lineup to replace the 
stove-bolt six; that new engine was Chevrolet's small-block V8. He 
collaborated with Zora Arkus-Duntov to revitalize the weak-performing early 
Corvettes, and also was introduced engineering and design advancements in 
the Chevrolet car and truck lines between 1955 and 1962.[3]"

Engineers can "tinker" ...they generally just do it with more scientific 
bent.
