Not an 86..

I have no concern at all if somebody swaps an engine since I have zero sentiment in maintaining the "soul" of the car or any of that mystic car culture stuff. What bugs me is when somebody swaps and then claims to have the fastest drag time (or any other thing like that) for a
Twin. It is no longer a Twin at that point and should not be claimed to represent them.
Back in the 70s I had a built engine in an old 64 Econoline van that would stomp on most Mustangs or Camaros of the time. Would it be even slightly accurate for me to say that 64 Econoline vans were faster than muscle cars?
