All IMHO...

1. People who ask this question are like children who wonder what the big deal 
is about 
sex...

2. If you have to ask, you probably haven't done it. And if you did it, but 
didn't 
enjoy it, you probably didn't do it right (and should keep trying).

3. And people who drive REALLY fast cars who ask this are probably too silly to 
realize 
that it MUCH more fun to drive a slow car fast than drive a FAST car slow...

4. People who cast asperisions on LBC reliability should see the second half of 
#2.... 

5. And finally I'm a hot rodder since childhood but reliability should be the 
last reason 
to do an engine conversion. If you can't get a LBC engine to run right (and 
they all 
have potential for a lot more power), you probably don't have what it takes to 
fabricate a proper conversion....and then get a junkyard Toyota, V6, or  Small 
Block 
Chevy engine to run right....

6. Then again, if you want a TR6 that runs a sub 13sec 1/4 mi --- GO FOR IT! 
WOOOOHOOOO!!!!

I have a stock Norton Commando (TORQUE) for when I want to do that....(If only 
I could, 
as a soon to be dad...)

My $.02...
