Ok!!! So here is the million dollar question!!!! If you had to do it all over again would you convert to a flat-6 or a V-8? What is easier to convert? Seems like the V-8 maybe a little cheaper. However it seems like you have to cut your firewall out… is that also true? (Please note I am no wheres close to it yet but I need a plan!)
What Trans is the best to go with? I was think of a 73-76 side shift 901 with a billet heavy duty intermediate plate from a 70-72? (this would be built as street car… NO-auto cross….) |

Most people building a hot rod (myself included) haven't a clue
what they are gonna do with it when it's "done". It's an end in it's self....till that day comes. Now what? Nobody with a lick of sense would do this (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/laugh.gif) A smart guy would have a plan....I'm using 20-20 hindsight here, you understand. Me & my shitbox worked this out....it took some time & wasted money was spread about liberaly/foolishly. I don't care what motor you use nor am I gonna say one is better than the other (tho 4s & 8s sux (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif)), but I would recommend you have a plan....or "Plan A", at least (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/laugh.gif) |
