hot rodding is about taking what you have and making it work for YOU, how boring would it be if we all had the same setup, go to a car show and look ! after about the first 50 cars you see all the SB Chevys look the same as well with most other brands, i usualy don't even lift my hood any more on my 57 chevy not that it does not look nice, it does, it's a nice show car that i drive the F out of .
now i can appreciate any work that is done with thought and is clean install, but the closed minded purest American hot rodders will talk **** about it, (me) i would not install a foreign Eng. in one of my rides, but then it's not my money doing this build , and from what i see the work is top notch , i was once going to put a 392 Hemi in my 57 chevy, and we put Chevys in fords all the time, hell i was even thinking about taking a SBC and putting it in a Dart, i like all brands, and i have for the most part have never given a second thought about what other people say about my builds.
(i once over heard someone talking **** about my car now not to contridict my self !! about not giving a second thought about what people say or think, but this guy was such a **** ! i just walked over to him and asked him if he had a car at the show he said yes in a tone that i have expected from him, and at this point he did not figure out that the car he was kicking on was mine, so anyway i just asked him to please go get his car and come park next to me, he looked puzzeled and asked why ? i said that i think it's only fair if you are going to continue to beat up on my car that you should afford me the same chance, well he did not !!
build what you want !
keep up the good job.
