Not an experienced owner, but my dream car is an ERA Street/Narrow Hip (Eddie's car) with a (big) small block, same wheels/tires on the front and rear, and "AC" badges on the front and rear; an updated "AC 289"


From even back in July, 1983, when Peter and Phil came to SAAC-8 in Dearborn, I have heard that the small block in a big block (ERA) car makes for a really nice arrangement.

Guess it is probably heresy to say this, however

With the advent of the Boss Z351 block, it seems that and a TKO600 with a Jag XJS outboard brake rear suspension and under car exhaust would make for a really nice driver.
