I have to agree, but I undestand your dilemma. Like all true hotrodders of the past, you make do with what you can, and upgrade along the way as you can. You'll entually get your Ford engine in between the rails! I committed the ultimate hari-kari when I installed a small block in this:
But, eventually, all the Chrysler diehards, after all the death threats were checked out by the police, just started to dig the car for what is really is, a homebuilt hot rod!!

Good luck, and be ready to jump on that cheap 302 when the opportunity comes up!!
