    I havent been on for years. Well I recently moved back to Pennsylvania to take care of my father. Well I have always wanted a old jalopy. I did have a 27 tall t project I was going to start to build but sold it to move back. Well I am going to build one eventually. I'm gathering more info for now. Ideas is model a frame. Body not sure. Truck cab or a tub. But I been thinking on getting a drivetrain. I'm thinking about a mid 80s 2.3 with a auto. Reason for a auto I'm a big man 6,3 and have size 15 feet. So I'm looking for pics and info. Like to run a 2 bbl. And a lakster. With a cam the biggest I can go with for a stock converter. I'm grey when I come to these engines. Looking to research materials or books to purchase. And would love to see any pics of your setup. Thank you all
    And merry Christmas

    Merry Christmas to you and yours . A perfect world you get a running donor vehicle that you can transfer to your frame/ body of choice.

    If you haven't been around on a lot of years, it may take some getting used to.... .

    While I understand your reasons, the drivetrain is a bit off topic for here. The rest of the build is probably ok, just
    do not show pics or dwell on the drivetrain.
