But they have essentially zero value. People take them straight out of junkyards, bolt turbos on them, make 700HP, blow them up, rinse and repeat. Where's the respect in that? When I build an engine, no matter how low the budget, I treat them with respect. Almost as if they're a living breathing thing. They do eat, breath in their own way, expel exhaust. Engines are a marvel of engineering, IMO. It's a damned wonder they run at all. As many as I've torn down and built, that's still hard for me to get my head around. I mean, I know how they run, it's just damned amazing all those parts come together and make a power plant. And then there are the LS guys. lol
