Is Charlotte going to keep a 6 cylinder under the hood?

Keep up the good work..

Yeah but it won't be that tall for long as i need to get the drive train in which will make it squat. I'm going with a LS swap...but with a twist. I got a heck of a deal on a 5.3 long block that i'm going to back-date it, Performer intake w/ throttle body injection. The guy I got from was going to do the same thing with a '63 but he ended up getting his hands on a 383 stroker so my lucky day. Initially i was going back and forth on keeping the 235 or not but the fact that I love a v8 rumble won out. I have 3 daughters and a ton of nieces and nephews w/ gearhead moms and dad so the 235 will more than likely find a home somewhere down the road. Thanks for the kind words
