Do slant six swaps make you feel guilty?

I'm about to do my 2nd original low mile A body slant to smallblock swap. It makes me feel guilty every time. Poor little 70,000 mile slant was born and lived a great survivor life since 1970/1973 to get seperated. Just makes me feel sorta bad that I separate that bond. Dumb I know.

I had a Doug Dutra built Super Slant 6 and drove it for many years. I woke up one day and decided to pull it out and sell it. I felt bad for about 6 seconds.

My 408 gets slightly better mileage now and puts out about 510 hp. That makes me feel better every time I drive it.
