Granted that its only been 16 years since I was 20, but I was living on my own, had my own job with its own responsibilities, lived over 3k miles away from my parents, and was responsible for my own expenses.

I certainly didn't try and convince anyone that my 81 Pontiac Grand Prix could be as good as a Corvette if I just dropped its engine and transmission into it, even if Richard Petty made himself very famous and rich by driving his #43 car around all sorts of different racetracks at 180 mph on a regular basis.

If he wants to do an engine swap, that's perfectly fine.
How about he starts a thread, and determines what engine he wants to put in it, and asks the people who have done that swap before for some pros and cons of the easiest engines to swap in, along with sources and prices.

All the additional written diarrhea isn't needed, and I know I didn't do that 16 years ago, and our other younger forum members don't do that, currently.

There's cutting someone some slack for being young and unknowledgeable, and then there's pointing out that someone is spewing garbage that isn't accurate and full of outrageous claims and boasting.

Maybe its just because I don't have any kids, that I can't accept a lot of the stuff he says on here. I wonder if its the same thing with the other forum members who have pointed out the holes in his stories? Maybe you parental members have more tolerance than us non-parental members?
