I love oddball stuff. SBC/LS swaps are too common to be exciting by themselves, but aside from that, I love it. Finnegan's Blasphemi, the Hemi Gremmie, Steve Wynn's Hemi Cobra, nailhead Buick in a T-Bucket, etc. Love it.

I'm just bored with sticking the same engine in everything (LS)
Keeping things brand copacetic is generally easier as there's usually some sort of legacy engineering that remains. Eg 3G hemi in place of a 1G . But, oddball swaps can be good if they make sense. An LS in a pulling truck, not so much. An IH LVin a pulling truck is much better.

Years (decades) ago, in Detroit, there was a guy by the last name of Miyamoto... He took an old Volkswagen Beetle, and converted it into a unique car. He used a BBC (454)? iirc.. installed it in the front, built a custom frame for the car. He also made it, so the entire body would flip up, like a Funny Car! He tubbed out the back, had something like huge 14X32's tires on it. Craziest part, was a huge wind up butterfly key, off the decklid, that would constantly turn while he drove the car... It was hilarious to look at, back in the day.
