Les,

Fortunately the body on the Classic Revival is pretty easy to take off too. It's coming off again in the next couple of weeks. It's time to put the motor and box in and build some pipes. A job that will be much easier to do with no body in the way.

If you've seen the foot boxes on Craig's you will see the excellent job he's don of making max legroom with a bulky engine combination.

Personally I like Fords, I've owned heaps of them. I'm just stiring you guys up. I chose the LS1 because as an out of the crate motor it's excellent value. To build a naturally aspirated ford (or anything) that is as light weight and makes as much mumbo I'd have to spend a big pile of cash.

There is also the advantage of the huge ammount of local development that's going into these motors now. As an example of this, Australia has produced the most powerful Ford Cleveland motors in the world with the local development that's gone into them.

Cheers
