Shame on your toxic ways reddit. No, Netflix didn’t pay me and no I never got paid to post on reddit or rather accepted to post sponsored posts. But it’s heart breaking to see the amount of toxicity and threats you’re willing to spew at someone for using this platform as a 4 year old hobby now. Say what you will, we’re all on here together being bored and killing time.
Some of us enjoy lurking. Some enjoy shitposting. Others moderating. And sadly some enjoy toxic harassment without reason or proof.
For reference, many(most?) classic car enthusiasts get really pissed off when somebody puts an engine from a different model of car into a car. Here's another discussion about Chevy vs. Olds engines; it seems to be an ongoing point of controversy on the forum.
It's kind of understandable. If you're building a car to be a classic, then you'd want it to be as close to the original as possible. Also to join certain clubs or get historical plates your car has to be in original condition.
There's also just the pissing contest between fanboys on which car is better.
Guess what. I've had Oldsmobiles longer than you've been alive, on a working man's budget. And not one of them has ever had to have a Chevrolet engine put in it to keep it alive. A "classic" car with a bastard engine is no longer a classic car. It's a turd.
It's pretty easy, just find random special interest communities and look for drama. In almost every case you'll find one in an active enough community.
Classic car people are fixated on everything being as close to the original form as possible, and if you replace the engine with one from a different model then it'll drop a lot in value

You can find it by going here and setting the 'last modified' filter from something like 01/01/1980 to 31/12/1999.
