streetwise- ya, I not so flamboyant that I need everyone to see me when I drive, that's for the car shows. I do see that getting in the car, getting over the wide fuel tank is a stretch ! How wide is that ? Do ya sit your bum on it and slide into the seat ???
Ron- the problem with the engine is, id never be happy with a stock small block Ford, I have to have POWER, polished looks and fantastic sound !
The trans-axle, I have no idea about but, it will have to be able to take hp & torque. Sorry, I have no idea what he albeit is, what does it come in and will it take the power ?
I may have to do it in stages like you say. Wonder if the total cost of the stage build is the same total as the deluxe ? Shipping will be more though. I'll check it out.
