Why? Maybe a performance motor in a Yugo or Pinto?
I could see the thrill of racing someone and beating them in such a car but, it's not for me

That's awesome to see one that looks 100% stock with a motor swap. Most Pintos, Vegas, Chevettes, etc you see with a motor swap are really cut up drag cars with no interiors, roll cage, tubbed in the back, etc.
