    Somewhere along the ling Roger you have missed my poiny------If building up an old car or a street rod such as your two-------not having any power train or transmission controls,fuel system, accessories, brackets, wiring, belt drive for ps, ac, alt, h2o pump and those components------you can get reasonable milage takeouts from late model cars (trucks) for $$$$$$$$$ that are unmatchable by building it up from various free shipping sourses-----

    I have done a few where the core engine for a build was part of the takeout package and utilized all the components some even including the dash panel guages.

    I really wish you might just critique my stuff instead of such a high level of criticism. If this site could transition to mode where synergy is instead of the everyday criticism it might return to what it was instead of falling to the level of those other sites

    and as for those GM performance engines being made on the gm assembly line------just keep drinking the coolaid

    My understanding is based on direct communications with GM engineering, so I guess they lied to me. Keep your Koolaid.
