Dark Side
How dark is the "Dark Side" ? If I keep the original flathead V8 but put a T-5 behind it, then install a hidden electronic ignition, front disks, dual master cyln., etc........does that mean I will live on the "Dark Side"

To answer honestly...from what I have seen anything that is not a restoration or modification to a stock part would put you on the dark side. Putting a trip deuce intake on a stock flatty would not constitute dark sidedness...but a T-5 probably does. I call it hot rodding...
Frankly I could care less what side it's on. Getting these old trucks up and on the road again, having fun with em, thats what its all about!
