Is Hotrodding still accepted around these parts?
Building up old pushrod motors with the surplus of aftermarket parts?
I know Chevy guys do it, but is that really it?

The old Ford Windsors were great, and obviously so all the old Mopar motors. Yet, cars today are already pretty cammed out.
The coyote motor doesn't even have an aftermarket came available from major retailers.

Is it even worth to build a classic hotrod motor, like a 302W or a 350 Chevy anymore? Is the experience worth it alone over the price to power ratio that it has to compete against today?

No, because you can't build something better than what already exists in your backyard unless you're an extremely talented engineer.

Yes but not on /o/tism general. It's fun building a 650 hp big block for less than $2k
