No I didn't....Or to Quote the dictator from "Team America" "Why is everybody so F$%*ing Stupid??!!!

I was absent-mindedly chatting with an acquaintance the other day and said that I'd like to build a real low-budget "Rat Rod." That maybe I'd find an old Maverick and get the "5.0" engine and T5 tranny and 8.8 rear out of a wrecked '87-93 Mustang and make a nice, cheap hot rod. Maybe even put a blower on it and make it real quick. He instantly went ballistic. "You hypocrite!" "Your constantly railing on your site about the assholes who put LS motors in classic GM iron and modern Hemis in classic Mopars and you come up with that?"  Excuse me?  How is putting the engine, tranny and rear axle out of say-a wrecked '89 Mustang that no one gives a shit about, into say- a '74 Maverick that no one gives a shit about-the same as putting an LS motor and a 4L80E into a one of 1,286, numbers-matching, 1972 455HO Trans-Am? Like Samuel L. Jackson told John Travolta about the difference between giving a woman a foot massage and performing oral sex on her-"It's not the same ballpark; it's not even the same fuckin' sport!"  Yes-I have screamed until I am blue in the face-It turns my stomach every time I read about some asshole who puts an LS Motor and a six-speed into a one of 3,797 1970 GTO Judges. Now if he did it to one of the 200,000 plus beater LeMans / Tempest models that Pontiac produced in 1968 alone-I wouldn't give a shit. Nor would I care if someone put a 720 hp 572 inch GMPP Rat Motor backed by a trans-braked TH400 and a narrowed 9 inch Ford rear with wheel tubs and 33 inch slicks to complete the "Pro Street" look into one of the 400,000 '78 Camaros that Chevrolet built. Now if he did it to one of the 2,200 LT1 powered 1972 Z/28's ever built-I'd want him drawn and quartered and his entrails cut out and burned. See the difference? If I proposed putting the 5.0 / T5 / 8.8 powertrain into a 4-speed, "Q" code '73 Mach 1 or a "K" code '66 Mustang GT-yes you would be justified in wanting to storm my house with torches. But taking the guts out of one of the millions of '87-93 Fox Mustangs and stuffing it in one of the millions of '70-'77 Maverick / Comet beaters languishing in junkyards or in people driveways-Does anybody really give a shit in hell??   That's the difference. Taking a 360 Magnum out of a wrecked '97 Jeep Cherokee and stuffing it in a '75 Duster is not the same as taking an SRT8 Hemi out of a 2011 Charger and putting it in numbers-matching, for real  440 / '69 GTX!!!  Taking the Supercharged 3.8 V6 out of a 2000 Bonneville SSEI and putting it in a beater 1981 301 "Turbo" Trans-Am is not the same as putting it in a Tri-Power, 4-speed, '65 GTO!!!   Is everyone clear on that?  Mastermind
