Well Andrew, good on ya. I hate to say but I think the comments were almost more entertaining to read than the article. It absolutely amazes me that folks get in a pinch over an engine swap. At the end of the day you have a car that's fun to drive, is quick enough, and can go to just about any event and not feel excluded. That car is just plain cool.
As far as swaps go, I have a thing for wagons. If I had the cash flow I'd get a late 80s/early 90s Olds full size Custom Cruiser wagon and slip a Duramax with 1000 ft lbs into it to tow my Olds G body Cutlass wagon (which came from the factory with a small block Chevy), to the track. For the puzzled look factor I'd make sure it had Oldsmobile's Diesel badges on the fenders and tailgate. After that the Turbo 3.8 Buick in a Chevette project would get started...
If it makes it run better or look cooler, all's fair in hot rodding. If that's not fair to some folks, well they really don't get what hot rodding is all about and need to go back to the garage to dust and polish their numbers matching restoration that never gets driven. What a waste of Detroit history that is...
