That's the best of both worlds


The old "classic" bodies look 100% better than the current "cookie cutter" bodies. That's the perfect marriage in my book!

One thing Chevrolet did that was fantastic was the LS series of V8 engines. Since they're a pushrod design, they fit in almost anything that had the older, classic engines. Heck, I've seen those in Miatas, RX-7s, & 3-series BMWs. You can stick one in almost any car because they're relatively small efficient engines that make big power. Compare that to a Ford DOHC Coyote engine with those giant heads. It has serious transplant limitations. You aren't getting one of those into a Miata...lol
