Soooo .. I have this little Valiant wagon, I want it to be a semi-budget build and a drive to the track most often kind of thing ( thats the idea anyway) I live awful close to the track and loading up the Belvedere to go 15 miles is a PITA My closest /current race buddy has a fast S-10 truck that he gives me little to no heads up he is heading to the track for TNT and, well .. I just go over and watch instead of fighting to load the car ( should buy another open trailer to ease the loading operation) And, locally here , we have these vintage races where they do not allow anything with "BLING" to participate .. frankly, the tracks they run them at are well ---> short ! The car

A B motor fits in there easier than a small block. Trans fits on the original ctossmember. (built a 62 Lancer) The Golden Lancer Drove it on the street and it ran 10:40 all day long nothing special . was a 470 with a set of sr heads and a small roller in it with 4:30 gear and 727 Should of kept it Its in Carlsbad Calif. now

So, you are saying a B engine is smaller than a LA ?
<--- Never measured that ?

Yours is a little newer but AJ installed a V12 Allison back in the day, you have to at least equal or top that.
