lol completely agree %100....one kid at my school has a 71 or 72 stang, white with a black racing stripe, over 450hp completely modified all my his dad and a shop. Drives around and shows it off like he owns the road.
I mean, it looks and sounds great, dont get me wrong. But you cant say that you did it. You paid someone to do it for you...no pride in that really except that you had the money, or in this case your parents had the money to do that for you.

well see i live in one of the richest counties in the US, so im kinda used to it by now but my buddies who work hard buy a car with their own money and put their time into it and kick my ***, ill respect them. but when joe cool with a brand new shelby mustang tries to beat me and i murder him cuz he cant shift i just sit there and laugh at people like that.

I hate to break it to you but the engine I see in your pics is not an H22A.
This is what an H22A looks like:



Props on doing your own car work though. I agree with the statement you made about the hooligans that drive around in cars their daddy bought for them, or paid to have them restored.

When I was in high school there was a guy in my class that was into Plymouth Roadrunners and Dodge Chargers (late 60's early 70's models) - he BUILT his on his own though.
