Now before I am called a hater or whatever I just want to have a clean, grown debate. I am a true Olds man plus I dig Buicks and Pontiac's but why drop a Chevy engine in one of these brands? Besides the typical "It's cheaper" response do you really enjoy the swap? If BOP high performance parts were the same price as Chevy, would you still go the same route as far as dropping a Chevy engine in your BOP car? I see alot of gbody's on here that's off brands, look soo good you could eat of the car itself! But, when they pop the hood you see bowtie valve covers ! It's kinda heartbreaking cause one, you knew it cost more to build than a Chevy, just take your time & look @ ebay, craigslist & swap meets. I scored a '66 425 Big Block Olds shortblock for $50. If you don't know nothing about Buick Olds or Pontiacs do your research!! Dick Miller, Bill Travato, Joe Mondello is good for Olds. Jim Butler and Kaufman Racing is good for Pontiacs. Poston & TA Perfomance & AES is good for Buicks. Now trust me I am not downing Chevys, my old man has a 1970 Camaro with a 468 BBC with 13:5:1 compression, Lunati Cam & Iron Rectangular Port heads with a 1050 Holley Dominator. Along with a 'Glide and a 4,000 stall convertor to boot now that aint a slouch!! I been around Chevys since I was able to walk but its like I want to stand out!! Take your time & collect those parts while buidling up those BOP's. In my eyes, its worth every extra penny cause you got something that very few posses I thought that's what hot rodding about! I rather have that priceless look on people's face when I drop that 425 in my '87 Olds Cutlass than another dime a dozen Chevy swap. But that's just me!
