Who else ever felt this way?

Wow! Got some good responses here. I have spent so much time to make the V8 swap goe in with as little hassle as possible, finding factory brackets and linkages, had the V8 A904 transmission rebuilt and other stuff. I've put in quite a bit of work to put the new a bit hotrodded motor together. But guess loving the charm of slowest engines sometimes is part of the car guy curse.

Maybe I should find another car, lol.

Same thing happened to me. I was going to swap the 6 in my 72 with a 318 and a 904. In the process of picking a combo to us, I found this nice 74 Duster nearby, so I drug them both home. Needless to say the swap never happened.
The other day after about 3 years, I pulled the Donnie outta the weeds, and when he fired up with the turn of the key I decided to stick with the 6.
