Looking at Nostagia Car for Sale....Frame Rail Width

So I have been racing with the Gassers for years, and I like some of the different cars out there. So when I started to look at them, I notice the frame rails are narrower than I can fit a Mopar engine between....on almost all of them. Even if I bought one, it seems like there is no chance of putting a Mopar engine in it.

Now I recently measured a darn G3 Hemi, and would you believe, that darn thing is the same width at the bottom as a G2 Hemi?

I guess when you think about it, that makes sense, they both bolt up to a 727 and starter...

Any ideas on how to find or get one with a 24" width?.....

Was looking at this one....But he e-mailed me and its only 22" wide.

Seen a few gasser's up this way with blown hemi's in them. Don't think I would class the car in the link as a gasser.

Well, I am not going turbo any time soon...Nor will I own a Phord drive train any time soon...But I want a door car, that's almost a rail.

All that would have to fit would be the trans, heads set above the frame right? Headers go on the outside of frame, look how narrow the frame is in a top fuel and funny car.

I agree....

Could you use an altered chassis and put a coupe body on it?
