Hey Twisted,
We'll forgive you for the nine inch rear. Truth be told, I wouldn't leave home without my trusty GM powerglide transmissions. But you do raise a valid point and that is, "Do you want to pursue the best parts available or the best parts available within a certain brand?" Some hot rodders want the best components regardless of brand while others wouldn't be caught dead running a Brand X part.
Its a big world - there's room for varying opinions.
Good luck this season.
