To many pissin matchs go on between car guys.It should be about the Love of our Hobbie/Sport..
It doesn't really bother me. The car is an Arntz and was designed to have a Chevy engine. One was in it when I bought it. I thought about changing it, but with the rapid decrease in car values in the past few years, it would probably be cheaper to sell it and buy another one with a Ford engine. Chevy engines are basically cheap horsepower.

In 1980 on the way down to the Long Beach GP, my buddy and myself stopped by to meet Steve Arntz about possibly buying a car. The car he had that we looked at was a SB Chevy and it looked nice. If I had bought one then, it would have had a BB Chevy in it. Hell, even when I bought this one, I was still thinking along the lines of a BB Chevy as I was familiar with them and how to get the HP out of them.

The way I look at this, is they are not original cars, so do what makes you happy.

I like the small Fords best and if i went with a BB I would prefer a BB Chevy
over a FE myself. It's what woulda/coulda/shoulda been in there anyways .

I don't think I have ever experienced snubbing or being snubbed - then again I'm usually talking to someone and don't pay attention so maybe I just haven't noticed.

My point, I guess, is that who gives a flying damn what small minded people do or say? Ignore the ba$tards!
