Interesting Ebay Conversion

190061623748

A Cheby 350. The engineering isn't described in detail but the owner drove it 1000 miles and didn't kill themselves or have the engine and tranny fall out. I wonder how the steering was done. This car will upset purists but you can't argue with the dependability and low maintenance costs - you can generally fix that engine with a $0.59 screwdriver. A clue to how the transmission tunnel was widened might be in the cracked console description.

The engine dress-up stuff, I would have done before selling it.

Wonder if it gets better or worse gas mileage than original. In the carburator days, it was possible to get 20+MPG with the right cam and rear end with that approximate set up in a second generation Camaro if you didn't put your foot in it.
