No, they really don't...
Don't talk out your ***. Most are built with old motors pulled from another car. Buick Nailheads, Olds Rockets, Ford Flatheads, the SBC, various mopars on occasion, and even the Cadillac big blocks if their really wanting a death wish. But, the ones you see with heavily built motors are the small minority of the "rat-rods". Often times it's the case of run-what-you-find.
If you want to see real examples, mosey on over to the HAMB, and start reading. Just don't call them rat rods.
