The son of a friend bought an engine less OB.
I'm hoping to talk him out of the small block Chevy swap

This is California, not sure how well engine swaps go along with the smog ****'s

I was beating on the hornet's nest trying to wake up the purists.

Hence the "ducking behind a brick wall" emoticon.

1 out of four is crappy.

You're better off dropping in a used 4.5l. The costs of adapting the engine to the car, and car to the engine, swamp out the cost advantage of the SBC.
