For those that FAIL to understand WHY I appreciate a well built more 'accurate' replica over one that is not please do this:

Put that GM small block with an automatic trans in your whatever, add AC and power steering while your at. How about some 17" chrome wheels with 'spinners' to really set it off?

See heres the problem, as Jack Nicholson would say, "You can't handle the truth." FACT is, and it's well documented right here on CC that a Chev engine is not acceptable to the majority of folks. Certainly true come re-sale time. Following the logic of those who want to do it 'their way', why not? Why NOT run an auto trans? Why NOT run 17" chrome rice wheels? Why NOT run BMW suspension? Why NOT run a VW engine?


Where DO YOU draw the line? I'm drawing my line at 'mass production' diluting the spirit of what means to have an accurate replica. As one can readily see is happening from the posts opposing such an idea right here in this thread! Good, bad, call it what you want, it's 'real'.
