Kind of like all the "hot rodder" shows. Go big time on the body and paint, custom interior, and then go as cheap as possible between the front frame rails by putting in a SBC crate engine. Never could figure that out.
I have no issue with the SBC, if it's used in GM truck. In my opinion each of the mfgrs, have V8 crate engines worthy of being placed in performance vehicles of the same brand.
Hotrodding is one thing. SBC in 32 Fords, are fine ( although I'd prefer either an early Hemi, or a more exotic Ford engine like an old Ford 427, or a Cammer), but installing a relatively nondescript CSB into a late model Dodge or ford just seems to be a bigger waste of time, effort, and money, than anything else.
