guys thanks for the kind words,...yes i'm trying to do it right and honor those who paved the way before me,....that and i'm in a time warp anyways!! lol!

Darn guys,....modern engines?? Hmmm,....well as you may as well know, a well built ford four banger will be as reliable or more reliable than a modern banger engine. All depends on builder, parts, milage on engine.....sorry, its just me bein a fan of vintage iron..... :-)

sounds like some interesting speedsters though!!
