The only good cow is a dead cow. Reminds me of a Scraping Foetus Off The Wheel song.

She is obviously not Canadian since she did not include Robertson in the choices.

V-8 stuffed in a 1974 Chevy Vega. What could possibly go wrong?

If done right, it could be a nice drag car. Skinnies up front say that’s its intended use.

Be tough to keep those skinnies on the pavement!

1974 and still on the road says it isn't European

But seriously, it took GM a while to figure out how to do an iron block with an aluminum head and the Vega was a dismal attempt. The V8 transplant can only be an improvement in that regard.

A friends dad was a Senior Engineer with Reynolds Metals and told us that they were working with both GM and Porsche on this aluminum block technology in the late 60s. To do it correctly, the cylinder sleeves required coating/ impregnation with some type of silicate to promote proper heat transfer and integrity. If I recall correctly, this process cost a little over a dollar per sleeve or around $5 per engine.

Porsche did it correctly, resulting in a 944/ 928 motor. GM cut corners and skipped the process and the world got the Vega motor, known for absolutely guzzling oil and being a complete disaster.

Just last week, I saw a clean 944 driving down the road. I don’t recall seeing a single Vega sitting much less running in the past 30 years.

I hope that meme maker paid royalties to Rauschenberg for reproducing his famous painting - "white painting". The painting equivalent of John Cage's 4'33".
