Why do you feel "Non Pontiac Motors in Pontiacs" is the wrong section for a Pontiac with a non-Pontiac engine?

I'm not saying it's "wrong". But I personally disagree with the philosophy that a "Pontiac" with an aftermarket everything is ok, and the folks that post with very nice cars that have a corporate engine are usually met with the "we don't wanna read about that on a Pontiac forum". Sometimes it's with civility, and sometimes with hostility. My car has very little left thats factory Pontiac, the block is, and the timing cover. It has efi, coil on plug, electric fans etc. In my opinion, the street section should embody hot rodding. We have dedicated sections for all the body styles, that are geared towards stock representations. I can't even get an administrator to answer a PM about a dedicated efi section, even though we have an ever increasing demand for that knowledge, that is now scattered about in at least 3 different forums. My general take away is that we are not as a group embracing the technology of the day. People don't have to choose Pontiac, why would we discourage them from making something great out of the old iron that we love?
To the OP, sorry for mucking your thread, even in defense of what you're doing.

It seems to make sense to put a "Pontiac with a non Pontiac Motor" in this section. If they didn't have "sections" it would be awfully hard to weed through what one is interested in discussing or reading about.... JMO

If you had an EFI section would you think it would be logical to put carb threads in that section.... No need to answer.
