mine would be a 82 rx7 with a buick 350/200r4(t-56 if i had some real $$$) like i planned a couple years ago…too many things went wrong like lack of job and broken daily drivers. but i’m getting a 4.3/700r4 in a toyota done by greenwood automotive currently …and when i get off the crutches i’ll be replacing my buick 350 for another in my 72…and perhaps add my twinturbos if i can figure out a cheap fuel deliverly solution ---

turbo 4 banger in a old fenderless model a or t. basically combine old school hot rod w/ new school tech. sub 2000lb and 500whp. more than likely go vw 4 banger-- keep henry ford and hitler in bed together. figure w/ the newer 4 banger, should be able to have good mpg, good power, and be able to drive it daily w/o straining it. i like the look of old, but dont want a slow as balls flathead v8. hell, a b18 honda engine makes more hp. ---
