Those cars are cool but they sure have small engine compartments!
No wasted space, that's for sure.... Now to find a nice second hand Hust C+ Shifter...

I love the 4-speed choice. I have 2 spare Ramrods if your interested (1-Mr. Gasket, 1 newer Hurst), I went to a Long with the G-force, and the others on the shelf. PM if your interested. Are you going to be able to keep that long rod behind the carbs with the new hood? Andre

Thanks Andre, yes the rods can stay but I just scored a brand new race weight fiberglass hood that will get cut up and Dzus fastened, I'll keep the stock hood just in case I change the tunnel ram out some day...?????
I am amazed at how solid this car is
You have a PM

Sorry, no the vette is goooone and now resides in South Carolina, still have the 565, just sold the glide and vert This one will serve double duty, but mainly a fun street cruiser
Fun to be back messing with Mopars

Rick, I hate to break it to ya, but that hood ain't gonna clear the air cleaners, not unless you slam down that hood, REALLY hard!!....
I thought you were going for the sleeper look, but hey, I totally dig the street freak look as well!
Are you planning to mini-tub it? With a 4 speed and a 408, them little back tires will be SCREAMIN' FOR MERCY!!
No Tubbing a set of 9" Drag Radials will have to do
That darn t-ram just sitting on the shelf finally got to me
