David Guymon in OK did the chop.
I'll get some more pics soon. I know I have taken more, but can't find them.
It has a chevy 350/TH400 combo. wouldn't have been my first choice, but it is all rebuilt, has A/C and runs great, so it'll stay.

Just a harbor freight style sand blaster and aluminum oxide. It didn't have much paint to begin with.

There are lower cost ways to getting a bigger engine in there. It doesn't need a "frame job". I know a guy who is using S-10 leaf springs in back....
my point is that you can't use that rule of thumb for everything. Obviously it won't work because plenty of cars have been built with much less...
