I just saw a '71 vette 454 that someone swapped the rubber bumpers onto on pass time. It made me shed a tear and i'm not even a chevy guy.

Its funny. I filled my mounts with some kind of rubber sealant from home depot, and caked the entire outside with gorilla glue. HD RACING

^^

They are from 1992 and the rubber compound chosen did not last very well. They were already shot from an 8 valve 70hp engine but I didn't have a puck clutch so I didn't care. The plumbing for the cold side was moving more than i would like (BAM BAM FRAME RAIL ).

I have to respectfully disagree with the last part of your statement, primarily because I think the idea of taking some innocuous 70's Detroit sedan/wagon (Coronet, New Yorker, Continental, LeSabre, etc, or more specifically the old Malibu I have) and replacing the anemic smogged V8 with something built for power would be quite fun.

However I agree with the remainder of your statement.

so what if it is off center?



what if the air filter is on the side? trying to get cold air to it is now a bad thing? I mean, if it is nonfunctional, then yeah, stupid, but I have seen plenty of hood ducts that are off center

I will say, that paint job is awful

Those come stock on some wagons, its not to be a spoiler its because it doesn't have a rear wiper and needs the airflow to blow water off the glass.

Yeah...that's what a buddy of mine said when he saw it.

And since we're in CT, that makes sense.
