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….)
