Now your over reacting and just being silly!!!!.. first of all im getting tired of ecsplaining 500 times a year that im dislectic and dutch. .

I guessing an occasional use of the "ENTER" button on the keyboards would do the trick. Just break the text up. The text gets hard to read. No offense. /hijackoff/

Well I guess the Pontiac faithful got over it, 'cause I see lots of them driving newer F-bodies. Let's face it, they were great cars, poncho motor or not. And they sold like hotcakes. At least GM didn't put Isuzu 4-bangers or something in them.
I guess you and I will have to respectfully agree to disagree, or we'll be arguing about this until they ban internal combustion.

i dont agree to disagree, because i know im right . askt all the Ford mustang owners on this forum why they dont stick a chevy engine in there 67 fastback,, ore why dont the 68/69 camaro fans stick a Ford engine under there hood!!!!!...............looks to me plenty of people DO care.....

There IS a guy here who has a Ferd engine in a 68 Camaro and MANY fords run CHEVY engines. I was planning to swap the 390 in my 62 to a CHEVY engine until I fixed the leaks (for now). Have you seen the trend of putting FORD 5.0/4.6 and Chevy 350s and LSxs into Miatas, RX7s, Jaguars, Jeeps, Internationals (I did this to a '79 Scout once). Jeez, there is so much of that going on but you seem to dare us say different based on what, your ignorance, indifference or thick head?

This needs to stop now.

Hot-Rod: noun;

Hot rods are custom-built cars. Originally the term was used to the practice of taking an old car, usually a Ford, and improving its performance by reducing weight (usually by removing roof, hood, bumpers, windshield and fenders), lower it, change or tune the engine to give more power, add fat wheels for traction and apply a distinctive paint job. The term may have originated from "hot roadster;" it was used in the 1950s and 1960s as a derogatory term for any car that did not fit into the mainstream. Other sources indicate that the term was derived from replacement of connecting rods in engines to allow higher RPMs to be reached without failure. When hot rodding became commercialized in the 1970s, magazines and associations catering to "street rodders" were started.

The Hot Rod era extended from 1945 to the beginning of the muscle car era (about 1965), reaching its height in about 1955. During this time, there was an adequate supply of what hot rodders called "vintage tin": junk cars manufactured prior to 1942 that could be had cheaply. Many of these had sound bodies and frames and had been junked for mechanical reasons, since the running gear of early cars was not durable. The typical hot rod was heavily modified, particularly by replacing the engine and transmission, and possibly other components, including brakes and steering. Certain engines, such as the flathead Ford V8, and the small block Chevrolet V8 were particularly popular as replacements because of their compact size, availability, and power. The early Hemi was popular in applications that required more power, such as drag racing.

IMO, by the very definition of the word we are encouraged to change the engine. Particularly if it's a big heavy tank of a thing and can be replaced with something lighter, more efficient and more powerfull.
