Re: [AMC-List] Nick's Old Truck

[Jock J Jocewicz <namdra@xxxxxxxx>]

Joe,
  I'm sorry but I think an AMC engine in Nick's Chevy truck would get a
lot of respect! Just think of all the non-Chevies that have Chevy engines
in them. And using the word "butcher" is wrong. When a car nut modifies
his car it is not butchering it, it is doing what you want. A free
country remember. And as far as a person putting a non-AMC engine in an
AMC, that is their choice. At NAMDRA's annual AMC NATIONALS we require
AMC power to run in our races, but that is what the majority of the
members want, so we respect that. We do have a class in our car show for
non-AMC powered vehicles and some real nice AMC's have entered this class
over the years.
