I'm the one who stuffed an aluminum block Olds 215 into an MGA and drove it
100,000 miles. Lots of fun,_*but I suspect I was lucky to get out alive.

Which is my point exactly. I see no reason in this day and age why a
"hotrod" cannot be as safe or safer than the average car.
Also, economy is a relative thing. A small block with an overdrive
tranny could be quick but not burn the fuel of a big block. I know
bragging rights are part of the dream, but I am beyond that part of my life.
