I don't think I ever said you were a snob zeke, if that was directed toward me. I didn't intend to mean that either. I just wanted to clarify that.

I don't think a sbc would be a good fit on a 911 or 914 either. Their torque curves in most cases don't match what the tranny can take. And in a 914 it's alot more weight than a 1.7 or 2.0. But hey, if it can be done and be done really well I think it's pretty cool, just to see all the custom stuff, but I've never driven one to see how it handled. It's funny here though, you say a smc is an iron lump, so would a big block be just an even bigger iron lump?
