    A Chevy small block would be blasphemy, anything else is pretty much fair game in my opinion. The Buick/Olds 215 "fireball V8" shares nothing in common with the "tree fiddy" except that they were both made by GM.

    Anything NOT Datsun or Nissan is blasphemy. This is coming from the eyes of a purist. Later, QD.

    just a basic L16 is fine for these. ups the power and parts are much easier to find than the stock motors. but i like the r16 roadster engine swap, it has a more period correct feel and look to it. plus dual carbs. on of the guys on Ratsun just scored a 1959 sedan, talk about hard to find parts! this car has been preserved by the new mexico desert. if i ever get a nl320 or any really old japanese car its coming from the desert. no rust on this 59. original paint is still on the oil pan/valve cover/etc. seats/paint are baked but who cares.

    roadster swap! well all you see is the hood, but the motor is under there too, cant find the pic.

    I actually have one that I'm sitting on. It's a 1964 as well. Runs and all and the guy wants $500 for it. Just waiting on January. I've talked to the guy about what's up and he's cool with that. Later, QD.
