Ernie! Ernie!... You disappoint me. You stick in that word "Only". That suggests it is inferior and meager in description. 
I'm being a realist. It's fiberglass and I'm reasonably sure it is a replica.. I didn't put in Ford power and I'm possibly crossing some ambiguous line. Go figure.
Now you know as well as I that true hotrodders from my generation would change motors quicker than a NASCAR team on a tire change,if it would win a race. Shelby did it and a slough of others. We can talk about old yeller, Allard and a bunch of others. So did they cross a line. Or just maybe they were PIONEERS and saw potential in doing the different.
I don't care for a lot of those things you mention like the neon and such but ,Hey, if it trip your trigger, more power to you. I wouldn't do it.
Come on Ernie, even Carroll wanted to put a Chevy heart in there on the first try..  |

Ruins it for me too.
Sorry.
But, I never would have said anything out loud!

No need to be sorry. I respect anyone to do as they wish with
their Replica. It may not be what others like but that's why Baskin Robbins has 31 flavors. I personally don't give a hoot what's under the hood. I like looking at the engineering and the neat little ideas that folks incorporate in their replicas.

Ouch!
Luckily you will rarely find anyone anywhere that can tell the difference.
Except on this forum.

Even though the uninformed might be fooled, you will always know that it's a small block.  You can't fool yourself, and it's always painful when you're stupid enough to try.  |

I forgot, there is an easy way to tell the difference between a small block, or rather any other engine, and an FE.
Look underneath it for the oil leaks on the pavement.
And were off and running!
