Rarity of 100% OEM Restored A Bodies - Rant/Whine

Here in is where the problem lies, plain Jane A bodies get converted to high performance models which destroy their originality so we are our own worst enemy. 6 cylinder and lesser V-8 cars are modified and in most cases the original drivetrains are scraped either due to being worn beyond repair or incompatibility with our idea of the end product.

no problem there. if you look around there are some restored 6 cyl and 318 abodies out there... boring as hell to look at and drive but they are out there.

i had no problem pulling that slob of an engine slant out of our original paint 70 dart and dropping in a 340 look alike 360. best move we have done to the car so far. next t may get a modern hemi.

if it bothers you so much just suck up every plain jane slant or 318 car you can find and "correctly" restore the thing.. see how easy that was.. :)
