.....pushing me to put the small block in it.
People tell me I need to put a small block in my '38. I tell them it already HAS a small block in it (original 216).
Seriously though it's your vehicle so do as you wish but IMHO when you go to a show you see row after row of lowered, small block Chevy powered hot rods of differing colors. Boring. Then there's my stock '38 sitting tall and proud. Every year as folks turn original cars/trucks into hotrods there are fewer originals & the values rise accordingly. I can't believe what Grundy says my car is worth compared to just a few years ago. To each his own. Just remember it's only original once.
