Meant to post this here............
Been thinking about my next street rod for some time. Because of good experiences with Ford flathead sixes in the '50s, I've considered them. But, after doing some research, I decided to weed them out. Not that I don't like 'em, but there's a lot more stuff available for the MOPARS. Some oldtimers I've talked to are convinced the Dodge and Plymouth engines are tougher, too. I've about decided on a 230 Dodge with a T-5 and maybe a 3.55 rear. Looks like about 2,000 rpm will net about 70 mph in 5th. Good cruisin
(According to my calculations 8,000 rpm will net 284 mph.......Man! That oughta be something! You gotta know I'm kidding! )
