So you figure 525-550HP in a notchback that will be driven on the street to me that equals FUN.  So to me the swap I am doing will be one I LOVE

Yeah, purists get that way. I look at it this way you're looking for a car to go with the engine. If you think you're catching flack for that imagine if you had a Ford engine and located a Camaro or Vette to put it in, you'd catch soooooo much crap for that. I've seen it done as a guy had a twin turbo 5.0 stroked to 347 then was set to put it in an 80's stang, when someone offered him a 67 Camaro so he took it. He already spent the $$$$ on the engine so decided to put it in the Camaro, and every Chevy fan who saw it went Ape shit.
