I'm not saying that Chevy didn't/doesn't make some good engines (along with some bad ones). My grandfather was a Chevy mechanic from 1953-1984, and my mother had a '57 Bel Air 4 door hardtop when I was a kid. I
loved that car! My problem is that Chevy people often yank original engines from cars that I think should be preserved. I once saw a 1956 Chrysler 300B that had its original Hemi replaced with a 350. At a classic boat show a few years ago, I saw a mahogany ChrisCraft runabout from the 1930s that had its original Lincoln Zephyr V-12 replaced with a 350. The owner seemed really proud of ditching that V-12, too. I just
know that somewhere out there, there is a 300SL Gullwing with a 350 in it.
