For what ever reason people loose their **** when you talk about putting a LS engine in a mopar, even on sites like pro-touring.com when I posted my LS Dart build guys jumped all over me about it. In the end it was just more fun to go back out to the shop and keep doing my own thing and just not bother posting it.
And car shows are another place that seem to bring out the winners, we have a show every Sunday night at a local restaurant, sometimes I'll bring one of my old cars or even throw vintage moto-cross bike in that back of the truck for people to look at.
A few weeks ago I went in my 2012 5.0 mustang, I was there about 5 minutes and some goof starts telling me I'm nor a real car guy because I bought the car and "real" car cars build cars.
