Hi Charlie, Larry comes from somewhere around St. Louis, MO :-) The topic
of engine swaps comes up periodically and SOLs are NOT all on the same
team on this issue. Larry is a dyed in the wool (I KILL me!) originalist
and probably thinks that engine swaps alter the character of the car to
the point that it is no longer really a __(insert TR model here)__ if you
stuff a small block V-8, Mazda rotary, Buick V-6, or whatever in it.
Others will argue that it's your car, do what you want with it. Like most
religious issues, a consensus may never be reached about engine swaps,
but we are all free to express our opinions about it.

Mike,
Yeah, I just got his history from another SOLer and I'm starting to
understand. Like I just wrote back to John, I originally thought it was just
some MG guy who had broken through our lines.
Thanks for the come back,
Charlie B.
