Was scrolling through old threads I started... I think you'll like what we went with instead How about a Cadillac 500? 8.2 liters of American luxury, factory power just waiting to be unleashed... and instead of those truck axles, we have a Dodge D350 chassis with a Dana 70 rearend, 3.54 gears (I believe).

Most say'n don't do it.. and/or
drop a 350 in it, are the same ones when they see a 350 in a rod keep walking.
So take that for what it is worth..
Could always put taller tires on the back to get that rat fink rake..
And help with the running down the road at todays speeds..
