What the Hell is a "restoration drive train" anyways?

[/ QUOTE ]

Guessing restamped/restored to appear "as was" when new.

Yes it's a perfect imitation if there even can be such a thing and the 'restoration' engine or drivetrain names came from the Corvette crowd..

I always think of it as kind've like the Jaguar owners club...they like telling everyone how superior of an automobile they are yet when you get one, you soon learn the truth and it's too late so you have to either join the others in the liar's club or lose money..

[/ QUOTE ] Pete, I am a corvette guy and I hate when they refer to an engine as a resto motor. I call it what it is, a stamper.

Reminds me of a Montreal F1 weekend about 20 years ago when one of the boys fell in love for the night..
He was ready to jump off the Cartier bridge when 'she' turned out to be Lola (nothing to do w/ racing cars of the same name)..

Wow, gives a whole new meaning to 'Vin swapping'
