Crossfire, try not to sweat it. You had to know that there would be differing opinions about swapping in the Chrysler engine. Special k just happens to be a little more eloquent about his lack of interest, haha. Why, I can't imagine, although spending so much time to detail one's disinterest might indicate some level of interest, haha. Even if it's contrarian. Moving on, even your screen name indicates that you make up your own mind. Because if I'm guessing correctly, you are a fan of 1984 Corvette engines that the running opinion is that they were limited. I happen to be a fan of engines and vehicles that were/are not just not popular, but actually unpopular, haha. Doesn't bother me and the people who mocked me have been fairly often proven wrong over time. Even if that does not happen, everyone can think whatever they want to. Thanks for starting the thread and feel free to carry on. I'm not sure why it became such a target and somewhat personal. Hot rodding does have a somewhat general definition, but I would submit that the essence of it is personal to each person's experience, perspective, and opinions. IIRC, a long time back, Hot Rod magazine, who some might consider to be an authority, haha, defined it as modifying a vehicle for performance or appearance. In which case both opinions stated above fit. In my personal opinion, appearance modifications alone are not the making of a hot rod, some part of the performance has to be improved. To further muddy the waters, I would say that I have hot rodded most of the vehicles that I have owned. But I would only consider a few of them to actually be hot rods...
