6.2 Diesel as DD?

Haha oh boy! I had a 74 and loved that car. Make sure it's got good body bushings or the subframe will rattle around.

Its all good underneath, subframe connectors, 12 bolt rear. Fiberglass front end. It was a 10.5 second drag car that the guy put tons of money in. So i know any engine i put in will be fine

:thumb: Subframe connectors were what I wanted to say when you mentioned putting in a big engine. Is there a cage in it?
 
yea there is. I will probably leave it too, just because its done right and not too much in the way. no back seat, but its small back there anyway.
 
You can put a bench up front to serve the same purpose as a backseat :pimp:
 
One end of the spectrum to the other :whistle:


I left one morning to buy a used three-wheeler and came home 8 oclock that night with a new wrangler. So I understand.
 
haha youre telling me. Ive always wanted one, but figured i could never afford it. Found this one reasonable and jumped on it.

Well be careful, that is how I started and ended up with a running DD, and 35 projects plus 2 bikes and a speed boat. :p:banghead:
