I was watching I believe it was HP TV the otherr weekend and they were doing an engine upgrade on one of the newer "hot rods". In order to get the engine out of it you had to pull the front suspension, along with assorted other front end parts. When you got everything loose you picked the rest of the car up off the engine. I agree it's a dumb a-- idea but on the other hand given a cghoice I'd rather remove the cab to get to the engine than to remove everything else but the engine to get to it........Give me the an old car with an engine I can work on and tweek for a few dollars and I'll give you a car that can develop twice the HP of a new car and still still get just as good or better gas mileage and still pass most emissions tests with better results than a new one.........Heck my '78 Jeep J-10 had lower emissions readings than a new car the last time it was tested according to the guy doing the testing.....Just my .02.......
