this is what i believe to be a 41 dodge cab, sitting on a 34 chevy frame, i have a 4 link out of the back of a 71? volvo that is getting put behind it. I have a 350 layin around, but im not sure what to use as a trans yet, i would like to go with a 4 speed if possible for cheap, as I have nothing at all invested into this project yet. It was 100% free!

this is my 74 elcamino ss. I built it through highschool. every penny I made!!!
I bought it with a 305 out of a 81? chevy truck weak as hell! It now has a 350 4 bolt main, 60 over, 400 crank, angle milled double hump heads, 282? cam, victor jr intake with a 2 inch raise. the th350 was a peice of shit when i got it, i thoguth i could rebuild it if i took it apart the right way. It took 3 times befor I got it right. It has been machined to except an extra steel, and clutch pack in each gear, just for a little more strength. I miss it. Its been sitting in my parents garage sence i joined the marines.

for the last pic i am going to show for now. It is my 88 vw golf.
now dont go thinking that this is a normal rice rocket!!! this was orignally a fuel injested 8v 4 cylinder that couldnt get out of its own way.
I have the 1.8 stroked to 1.9 the head has 5 anlgle valve job, and ported intake and exhaust runners. a cast alum intake that mounts the dual sidedraft carbs, hand polished.

porsche 011 calipers on a 11 inch wilwood rotor.
Its like a little frankenstien car. It handles like its on rails, Ive never driven a car that was more fun!!!
