Well, there is a much larger crowd on the 4200 forum that have an appreciation for these newer engines being swapped into other engine bays apparently. There is always going to be those that agree to disagree on the subject, but there is far more swaps being done with these engines than is being discussed here. Leo has even converted to Atlas power. One thing that has remained constant with time is change. I'm glad each generation of engineers at the Big 3 has embraced change, I'd hate for us to still be driving Model A's and T's around today. Having driven some really nice restored ones myself, i'd never purposely drive one again.
