Is anyone else interested in cars and motorsport?

Yeah, I haven’t seen any of those around here either lately.

Wait?! You know what a MEL is? I usually get raised eyebrows from that one. (I also happen to know where a fully machined, ready to go 462 is, and it's less than 15 miles from me.)

Yeah. Go buy and bring it home if you still can.

I have nowhere to put it and nothing to put it in. But if I did.....

Yeah I know. If had the money and room, I'd be over my head in engines. I would collect them. Just had someone offer me my all time favorite the other day: the Ford 300.

Very wow? I'd say very meh. So mainstream. Everything today is being LS-swapped. When someone pulls up at work in a classic car that's been LS-swapped, I just roll my eyes and walk away. It doesn't take ingenuity or creativity to do the same thing as everyone else. Just money. I can appreciate the work people put into it however. And attention to detail. What I'd like to see is something MEL 462 swapped, but that's not likely.

Not everyone is looking for unique. Yet. they have to walk the same path you did in the hobby and develop a preference just like you have. While they do their learning, LS and K swaps rule the world because they're cheap and easily available. we NEED those people to keep this hobby alive. I understand your loyalty to the blue oval, but you're not the target market. neither am I, since I'm quietly collecting parts for a 2jz big turbo build for my FJ. I could just as easily LS swap it, (easier, ironically) but as you say, I want something that stands apart.

One of my neighbors wanted to buy the GTO we have here but we told them no. They were upset and pushed more tree debris on our side of the property.

Yep. You’d think that I wasn’t doing enough as it is, but in reality there’s always something setting me off.
