Where the hell has Hot Rod been over the years? Crazy swaps into stangs have been going on for ever. Buick v6,Buick v8, Ford v10, GM s/b,b/b,Hemi, Rolls Royce v16 etc etc. The dare to be different ideas have been used so often it's no longer daring I guess,IMO. So I would ask why? I wouldn't know where to even start on a project like that.
I guess it's just because "He can"
