I think that's a great power plant to have in there. An economical hot rod is a great idea and with gas prices what they are... hey.... I may look for the same power plant to put in one of my rides.

Very nice. I liked both paint schemes! The gold is very cool. Nice ride!

Thanks man, Its not a factory 6, The 6 is in it because in Australia for the first 4 years when your on the road you cant drive V8,turbo or supercharged cars. So for now the 6 will stay. Your car will look mad chopped. be sure to send me photos of it would love to chop mine later on
