And the small block guys all laughed at the overpriced Ford engines. Then the rare MOPAR guy comes along with big bucks Hemi elephant engines.
I tells ya, the guys that are loyal are the ones that run Pontiac or Mopar or AMC motors, because they get no love from the aftermarket and parts ain't cheap and easy like the Ford and Chevy stuff. You've got to put up or shut up if you're an off-brand man in the hot rod game.
