The coil spring thingies were more for cooling, weren't they?
vtwhead beat me to it......
I broke lots of one-piece mags, but never a welded 2-piece. Never even heard of one breaking. Sometimes a steel rim will bend hitting something...
I recall Caddy rears being an absolute bitch to work on! Totally off the wall weird design. I would never touch one again!

In the sixties on the Saskatchewan prairies we raced anything, any time, any place!

Used to call them "slingshots" for obvious reasons. Not as good as a regular dual carb setup, but they did work.

Put a 4bbl on the S10 V6 and use it.
My '72 camino 350, camel humps, flat top pistons, 151 cam and a four barrel, got 24 MPG every day. That's Canadian gallons, about 20 on your itty...
Some cowl light lenses and get rid of the square mirror, and drive it!

Jeeps, Scouts, Ramblers, Studebakers, Henry J's all used them.
Did he reproduce the cracks in the block too?
Buy it! Drive it! Beautiful car.

Find a Ford pickup with an iron toploader 4-speed and a 302. Personally I would find a good flattie!
Hone it with a ball hone and rering it with a set of rod bearings. I have gotten away with that on engines that were way beyond "spec" and they...

Iodine works better than any oily stuff. Dissolves rust quickly.
Used to split the Ford hoops and weld in a spacer, go as wide as you wanted.
