        How about a high winding 283 with a 4 speed muncie and an olds or pontiac rear end?
        There's always something new to learn.

              Funny.. before building my first v8 for my 53, a 327, I was really kicking around a 292 with a bunch of power...
              But went the easy route instead..

                  the 47 I have is a basket case but is a coupe and has a 327 700r4 with 10 bolt 4.10 body is fair but floor is toast... I sub frame it 5 years ago and put the 327 in haven't touch it in a long time... So time to do a rat rod and some hot rod drag week hope to start on it in sept. after DW for keep up your subjection

                    Had that package in my old 56 Chevy. That was a fun car to drive.

                      Large dispacement small block of some kind will put you in the mix. Only some big blocks can play.
