This reminds me of something I saw on t.v. a couple weeks ago. Carroll Shelby was being interviewed and he said that guys would rent the Hertz rent a car GT 350 Mustangs and swap out the Shelby 289 motor with a regular Ford unit and then turn the car back in. I had heard about guys renting the GT 350's for a day at the race track but I hadn't heard the engine swapping story before.

Yeah my dad was telling me that back in the stoned age, people used to rent muscle cars and swap the engines and then return them. He said that it used to happen pretty often and that the GT350 was the most common one people used to do it too. Man I bet those were the days! smile
