That's a great story but I can't believe that after such yearning for that nostalgia that he did a LS swap.

I have no issue with that. Its his car.

As an owner of both Pontiac powered Pontiacs, and LS powered Pontiacs, they both have their pros and cons.

Yeah sure, it's his car. He could put a Briggs and Stratton in it for all I care. My point was that he was all nostalgic about the car he had as a kid, and nothing else really satisfied him. Then to change it so much doesn't really make sense to me. But if he's happy then that's great.

Ya I was kinda disappointed that he didn't go with the 400. It was like he threw the cars heart and soul away. He could have done a transplant. Great story though.
