I don't mind the auto tranny i'm not looking for a strip truck just a street
rod pickup. As long as the tranny behind the current hemi fits in there no
problem. If it doesn;t that wouldn't neccessarily stop me. You have to
realize my father was crazy enough to put an '88 vette independant
suspension on an '87 El Camino with a brand new LS1 under the hood. I guess
I got some of that form him even though I don't think the hemi is as near of
a stretch. I have pics of the full build up. That car is awsome.
Right now I am toying with the idea of shelving the mustang for a while just
to get this started.
Hmmmm, wife's gonna be pissed with me spending all of the money again.
