vettestr,

This is just IMHO.

I guess I am kind of a original/keep it Ford or Chevy kind of guy, like NASCAR. My favorite racing was T/A in the late '60's and early '70's. One brand racing against another.
I loved them all: T/A Challengers, ARR 'Cudas, BOSS 302s, Javlins, Camaros.....remember?. To me it just wouldn't be right to put a chevy motor in a 'cuda, that is where I am coming from. I am not adverse to putting any combination of motor/trans/susp etc in any vehice if that is what you are into.
Hey it's your car, do with it what you want.
My feeling are if you have a replica, muscle car, historic, or vintage auto, try to keep it close to original, but doing your own personalization is OK too. I love sleepers also!

Rods...........anything goes!

Bret.
