    It is a highlight because older cars didn’t make HP like today’s engines do. So getting an older car with modern car horsepower is a big deal.

      Stock they didn’t, but this thing is far from stock and older V8 motors could easily be woken up with heads, intake, and headers. It’s definitely a cool swap but it seems like they wasted a ton of potential. I suppose this does give the new owner something to work on which might be ideal depending on the buyer.

      Edit: not even really a waste of potential, more that it’s not really impressive when you have smaller engines out there coming with 500, 600, 700HP from the factory via superchargers and what not.
