Build yourself a T-Bucket. The kit is about 4 grand. OHHHH that would be one fast ride and it would look saaaweeeeet!

man people sure like the idea of putting it in something small.

Why not just attach tires to the lower pulley and the flywheel and a little tire in front for steering. Not sure if its street legal, but ill bet you pull less than 3 second quarters if you can get the traction.

Nice idea!!! Forgot all about those things. Loved making models of them when I was a kid. Will look into it.

Thanks,
Mark

yeah, but imagine if you were to strap it to what she is riding instead... Or is that why she is smiling

In all seriousness, I would find a muscle car 50's to late 60's, wth a parallel box frame a la the Falcon/Fairlane500, Belair 2dr, Chevy II?) Now that would be one fast daily driver...

I'd be willing to let you put it in my 1951 F-1 pickup, I'd even let you do it cheap! I can be bought!

By the way, you really should see my 51. It was a basket case when I got it, burried half way up the doors in silt, hadn't been registered for 20 years. Now it's in better shape than my L. I bought it when I was 17 for $200 and spent 17 years restoring it, every two parts that bolt togther were removed, blasted and reinstalled, absolutely cherry! I at one time considered putting a 428 in it, but my dad talked me out of it, so it has the V-8 briggs and stratton (flathead 239) in it. I learned more than you can ever imagine rebuilding that engine.
