No, that is a 70's 2800 CS. The same customer has an 1800 in the other lot, that's the predecessor to the 2002.

Yes it does. It also has a 352 at the machine shop and a t18 in the bed.
I also have a Jaguar independent diff and axles, and bmw swingarms and spindles that I want to try to use for the rear, cause why not.

The 352 and T18 don't seem to match up to the suspension choices? Especially the T18.

Yeah I know, but I own them already. I think the TKX 5-speed would be great, but expensive. I suppose I could overhaul the COM automatic, but not really into automatics. Maybe by the time I'm ready to power it I will come across a cool motor/trans to use.

Something like this maybe.

I think that motor you have there in the picture would have some great bottom end torque!

I figure if I put it in the bed with a V-drive I should have enough weight on the rear wheels to hook up, and as a bonus...
WHEELIES!
