Funny, when I dig down and get into it, I dont mind a Pontyknocker motor in something or an Olds.....maybe because they are not the 'run of the mill' engine. Maybe its because I used to run a Pontiac. Dunno, the 350/350 swap just gets to me. Its a great platform, and Ive seen them run like snot, hell, been beat by them.....but I didnt mind as much when they were beating me in a Nova vs a non Chevy. Even when it was a GM product like a Buick Pontiac Olds. but whatever .....I guess Im just a little bitchy like that. good to know your limits. ABODYS rule!
