What I choose to do with my vehicle is my decision alone. I have no room for "purists" in my decision making. I for one believe it is the owners choice, not the public what he chooses to do with there vehicle. You seem to be almost ordering me to keep it all olds.

Well the motor is going to be kept olds based, but there is no way in hell that Im going to keep the stock bottom end in. I will keep it in storage, but not in MY motor. Im already sourcing parts for my build up. I am not going to use mondello for all my parts. those guys have inflated all of their prices.

Thanks for your opinion, but what Im doing is my choice, and frankly I dont give two shits what olds purists thinks. If Im going for concours then I will make sure I have every last detail correct. Im not going for that, Im going for true driver. A stock olds cooling system will not keep up in stop and go traffic. A stock olds will not throw over 500hp to the wheel, and a stock olds will definatly not please me if the things I want are not met.
