The project I've had in mind for quite awhile was to be a '27 Ford turtle deck roadster or a chopped coupe. It is to be a daily driver. An inline 6 is too heavy, too long, and will never get the gas milage that I'm shooting for, hence the cammer 4 banger. It will give me the right look, as well as lighter weight and hopefully close to 30mpg.
My '37 coupe has a 440 in it, and at 10mpg, needless to say, it didn't get driven very much this year.
I'd like to be able to just find a RWD car with the right style of 4 banger, and just take the entire engine and driveline and transplant it into the '27. The Fiat twin cam is looking like a possibility at this point.
