I love the looks of the car. I always liked the Cheetah. You have endless options on the SBC engine, from frugal cost, to excellent MPG, to gas guzzling insane power to weight ratio. No doubt the SBC was one of the greatest engine designs of all time.
Buzz, you saw a pot of $hit and a stick and could stop yourself.
The Cheetah deserves a Chevy and should not be defiled with a Ford engine, if at all possible, IMHO.
