I cannot agree more...but then I also have to add that it "depends" on which engine it is, too. The early Hemis for example can be accepted in pretty much anything. But as a general rule, I don't like Chevy engines in other things, although I have softened that stance a little since the...wait for...you're gonna vomit when I say it...since the LS (puke) engines have come out and people are putting them literally everywhere. I say softened my stance, because now I have some respect for seeing a cool little four bolt valve first generation small block Chevy in other things as long as the job is a good one. Also, believe it or not, I even like "some" LS swaps. I know. I'm a heretic. I gotta give credit where it's due. We have a member here who has a whole thread about his 73 and up (not sure of the year) Dart with a hellified LS in it. I haven't checked in on it in a minute, but it should see some 8 second passes. I don't care what it is or what it's powered with, an 8 second pass is cool.
