Yeah, I definitely wanted to avoid dealing with electronics where possible. As for noise, that's definitely not my concern. I plan on running open headers, and I'm definitely not building a nice street rod, just a flat black rat, scary looking and fun, the way it oughtta be. The driveshaft should be able to be dealt with, I weld, and I'm sure I can come up with a driveshaft that'll work. I was also kicking around the idea of the 5-cyl, they seem to be even more plentiful, and the idea of 5 straight zoomie pipes sticking out of the side kinda makes me go wheeeeeeeeee.....
