Ya gotta love the internet.....Part 2...

Got a smart-ass email from someone-I love this-"Unknown" who didn't sign his work-but wanted to gripe about a post I made like 3 years ago!!  I was griping about how tired I was of seeing in every buff magazine-which I sarcastically said-should change their name to "Modern Fuel Swap Monthly" since all they ever featured was Numbers-matching SS396 Chevelles, GTOs,Dodge Chargers,etc-with LS motors and modern Hemis swapped in. I've said it a million times-If you want to put an LS motor and a 4L80E in a beater '68 Cutlass-go ahead and do it!! No one gives a shit. But don't do it to one of the 515 Hurst / Olds models ever built!!  Anyhow this arrogant asshole-their always so arrogant-chided me by saying that LS motors AREN'T CHEVYS and If I was as smart as I thought I was, I'd know that!!  Would he like to go for Double Jeopardy where the scores can really change?  The LS engine is a Chevrolet design from conception to production. They debuted in the 1997 Corvette, the '98 Z /28 / Trans-Am, and the 2000 Chevy / GMC Pickups. The fact that they put them in Pontiacs, Buicks, and Oldsmobiles-doesn't change the fact that they are Chevys! Just like the 3.8 / 3800 V6 that powers millions of GM cars is a Buick. The Northstar V8s-while available in Oldsmobiles-was a Cadillac design. The Quad 4-was a Pontiac. This is nothing new. GM has played musical engines since the '60's. The standared engine in most GM cars-be it a Firebird, LeMans, Cutlass, Regal, Ventura, Omega, etc-since 1967 was a 250 inch Chevy straight six. In the late '70's it became the 231 inch Buick V6. In 1977 alone you could get a Pontiac Firebird with a 231 inch Buick V6, a 301 Pontiac, a 305 Chevy, a 350 Chevy, a 350 Olds, a 350 Pontiac, a 350 Buick, A 400 Pontiac, and a 403 Olds!!!  Only the one 350 and the 400 were "True" Pontiac engines-i.e-dating back to the original 287 inch V8 from 1955-and sharing parts with the 326-455 engines that were so prevalent from the '63-79 period!!  You could buy an Olds Cutlass in the '80's with a 305 Chevy,a 301 Pontiac, or a 307 Olds V8. In the early 90's you could buy a Cadillac Fleetwood D' Elegance or Buick Roadmaster with a 350 Chevy!!  Yes-GM played musical engines for 40 years because of smog laws and less "model proliferation"-does anyone believe that an Olds Bravada was anything other than a re-badged S10 Blazer??!!!  But your 1992 Cadillac Fleetwood does not have a 5.7 liter "Cadillac" V8!!!  It's a 350 Chevy just like the one in your neighbor's Blazer!!!  Anyhow- I welcome all input-even misguided or inaccurate wise-ass comments. But if your going to be sarcastic-do some research and make damn sure your right before you publiucly rebuke someone who HAS done the research!!!  Mastermind
