    Do you have pics of the interior? I remember seeing a Porsche with an Olds Toronado 455 stuffed in it. The guy who built it used a bunch of luggage bolted together and cut out to cover the engine.

    You can see my videos on YouTube of Olds 215 or Buick nailhead alloy block powered corvairs. Either in the back, in place of the Corvair engine, or in the middle. Just search corvairwild olds or Buick 215

    Hmmm, now that I look at it I like Nasty's set up with the engine in the back and not the back seat.

    Both go extremely fast , the sedan 409 is a bit scary at speed , but the 64 convertible is a real nice ride :)

    Those are some good looking cars on their own. Then you factor in the engines and installations and Booom! Minds are blowing up everywhere.

    Pretty cool, Nasty. There is a guy around here that builds them with flatheads, he does such a good job it looks like it belongs there. A 409 is above and beyond.

    Dammit! Now I look at the old 9N I have sitting in the field and start thinking what I have that would replace the old flathead 4. This place is bad for my wallet.
