DRIVEN Posted May 18, 2010 Report Share Posted May 18, 2010 Man, I thought my shit was rough! I vote for L6 power with home made zoomies and velocity stacks on the SUs. Should be cheap enough. Quote Link to comment

Pacerace Posted May 25, 2010 Report Share Posted May 25, 2010 Going to be awesome when finished! and do I spy a Pontiac Rally II? With a little spray paint that can be looking good! Before After But then again, it's a ratrod so they probably wouldn't fit if they looked that good! Quote Link to comment

Guest DatsuNoob Posted July 19, 2010 Report Share Posted July 19, 2010 Kelly was showing me that last time I was around, very cool! I'm thinking an L series with a stromberg (or a look-a-like) on top would look hot! Still have the fuel economy as well as an old school look while being more powerful that an A series. I'm thinking while that above pictured rat rod looks super cool, it's probably VERY underpowered and never even gets close to spinning those humongous tires. Quote Link to comment
Pumpkn210 Posted July 19, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 19, 2010 Theres no weight, thats what makes those things so scary! Just about any engine is HOT in a car that weighs 1000lbs! Quote Link to comment

In my opinion the rod would be somewhat under powered but it would more than make up for it by thumbs up per mile.the rat rod creedo is build it with what you got ,even if the parts are considered junk by some.And no matter how much power your car makes theres ALWAYS gonna be somebody with the biggest blown hemi style motor ever built decide to park next to you.
