Re: [FWDLK] Newbie

My favorite non-traditional swap was done by a friend of mine. He put a 413 cross ram motor, dash, tranny, rear end, and interior from a 62 Chrysler 300 into a 57 Chevy Belair. Very nice job. The best part is the fiberglass tilt front end so all can be seen.

Mostly, it's just boring.

I agree with Jay Leno. Hot rodders should make the effort and not just follow the pack by putting anachronistic engines in their rides.

If you want to put in a Buick nailhead, or an early hemi, or an early Cadillac or whatever in your Ford hotrod, go for it. That's what they did back in the day.

I went to a Ford show once, and it was the rare 32 that DIDN'T have an SBC. I also agree with Jay that hotrods shouldn't have automatic transmissions.

That said, it is clear that a large percentage of our population likes to do "what everyone else is doing." I guess they feel more a part of things.

We don't have that problem with our Mopars. I am forever grateful, however, that we formed the Forward Look list. It's the best place to turn to for advice.

And it was fun meeting a lot of you in Tulsa back in 2007. Whatever became of that car, anyway? Methinks it was too far gone.

The darkest, the blackest, the Darth Vader side is the SBC. That is akin to

selling your sister. I am appalled that such language is allowed on this

list. What has the world come to.
