Buzz, my gripe isn't with you as you obviously have a Chevy engine and aren't trying to disguise it.

What I find hard to stomach is the guys who tout that their SBF or their SBC is the far superior choice, then try to make their engine look like an FE....

I noticed that Joe edited his post to add that an FE is "more expensive" than a SBF. Simply not true. You can have a 525-550 hp FE for the same price (or less) as a Dart blocked SBF. It's also funny that guys use weight as a bias. Obviously the original 427 Cobra didn't have trouble winning LeMans with that big ole heavy FE engine in there. 99% of the guys here do not race their cars and probably couldn't tell the difference in weight while driving any way.

When you get down to looking at it, how far are you willing to go to fakely make your drivetrain look like the original? Glue external linkages to the side of your TKO so it looks more like a Toploader?
