I need schooling - old vs. new engines

Josh owen said

Can I say or dare I say... new school engines in anything pre 80 is disgusting and a slap in the face. no matter how good they perform and the power that can be made. LS is hands down the top dog hands down. Put those in all the fords and GM folks want. Leave the mopars to old school raw torque and oil stains. Old school power for old school iron. How God intended them to be.

I got no problem with that opinion. To each his own.

I love the look of a BB A-Body. Would still love to do one someday. I've got a buddy with a 400/4 speed 67 Dart and I think it is just cool.

But when the function of the car is to do more than run down to the Piggly Wiggly to get ice-cream or sit on the grass, the newer motors have a real strong draw for me.

Add that while I could buy a new Challenger, why have 2 cars when one could do it for me. Plus, that avoids the debt I would have to carry. And I can say I built it, not bought it.

My scenario isn't the same as everyone else's though. So I say do what works for you.
