 Seems like a great engine choice for a classic resto mod."When the people find that they can vote themselves money, that will herald the end of the republic." -Benjamin Franklin

 It was a pretty tough choice for me, I was seriously considering it on the 69.Originally posted by CJ View PostSeems like a great engine choice for a classic resto mod.
 
 Though I was going to run a carb and a ford distributor conversion, so it would have been less out of place in the ford engine bay."If I asked people what they wanted, they would have said faster horses." - Henry Ford

 Well, its big. ~290hp and can be found for under $500 in the mviii. Might be easier if you are working with a ford that shares some of the same parts, rather than converting or fabing everything.
 
 Though it wouldnt be something you would want to put in a 32 highboy, and wont have anything close to the look desired in any hotrod/ratrod."If I asked people what they wanted, they would have said faster horses." - Henry Ford

 If i was in dfw id have no problem finding the stuff i need.
 
 Im in the middle of Kansas where the closest wal-mart is over a hour away in any direction.
 
 Ford motors are non existent up here. Its like the 5.0 didnt sell in this part of the state. Only 80's irocs did.
