Re: Car Collection
Bentley, Nice Collection - and it must be a joy going to work every day. I'm thinking that Yellow & White Nash Metro would perform significantly better with a 383 small block, TH400, and a nine-inch rear sitting in a tube chassis. With a set of wheelie bars of course.
Re: Car Collection
Why Wheelie Bars are a good investment for a small-block powered Nash Metro.

Re: Car Collection
lol yes it would go better maybe we could use the 350 out of the 75 chev and the 9inc out of the t/bird huummmm ya got me thinking now ...some how i dont think he will let me do that ...
Re: Car Collection
The complete drive train from the '75 Chevy will do fine. Sometimes sacrifice needs to be made in the pursuit of pure HP outrageousness. Convince Dad he needs a Pro Street Car in his collection and start cutting it up.
How easy is it getting parts over there?
