My question is, If you acquired a somewhat classic Chevy or other with no engine and transmission, would you put a Mopar engine in it if you had one sitting around?
I don't think I would have any interest in even a nice street rod Mopar, if it had a chevy in it. How lazy and cheap can you be?The guy said " The kid is my illegetimate step child.....but I love him anyway!
I'm not a "purist" per say,but I can not see dropping in another companys engine. Except the street crowd bunch. Thats all 99%of them undertand. Chevy in everything. And IF I was one of them, a mopar would run on a Mopar. Not because Mother Mopar owes me anything or me to her.......
Yup. I would.My question is, If you acquired a somewhat classic Chevy or other with no engine and transmission, would you put a Mopar engine in it if you had one sitting around?
Not so much Mopar into a Ferd. LolI remember a certain 69 F250 that my brother was so pissed off at its 390, that he seriously considered a 318/727..... before there was a way to turn a 318 into a 390...
Luckily (for the truck) a guy I knew totaled out a 69 galaxie that happened to have had a good running 390 in it.... that I connected my brother with.
Wasn't this one, was it?I do have a few "ran when pulled" Mopar engines laying around.
I'd be tempted.
There was a 40's international pickup for sale a while ago...
ain't that the truth!If it's just an old hotrod, I don't care what engine (or other parts) is in it. I'll probably end up dropping my 340 into a '30-'31 Model A coupe hotrod at some point just because it's proving to be damn near impossible to locate a 30's vintage Dodge/Plymouth coupe to build.
My buddy picked this up for $800 2 months ago in Norcal. I believe it’s a 31? He’s had tons of offers since picking it up.If it's just an old hotrod, I don't care what engine (or other parts) is in it.
