Ok Brian, so what are you up too with the 55! When you say "little" W just how little in Brian's terms.
Gav
I'm with you Gav. Brian's definition of "little" probably isn't anywhere near what Mr. Webster had in mind when he compiled his book of definitions!
Little is relative ya know. Compared to a ricer Honda motor a 348 is huge. Compared to the engine in that ship we were talking about on here awhile back, a 540" 409 would be miniscule.
I know you've got the aluminum block build in progress.......since I love the '61 the most.....I'd love to see you put it that engine in there when it is done and you could "hand-me-down" the little 476" (?) motor to the '55.
Seriously though, since you already have a pair of 9 second race cars I hope you make this one a cool driver that you don't fully redo and that you take it out cruising OFTEN. Maybe a "just slow enough not to require a roll bar" car.

I highly doubt it will be just slow enough to not require a roll barLittle is relative ya know. Compared to a ricer Honda motor a 348 is huge. Compared to the engine in that ship we were talking about on here awhile back, a 540" 409 would be miniscule.

I wouldn't be surprised if it needs an 8 sec certified full roll cage.
It sounds like to me if he builds one for the street there are going to be s few cops maybe getting writers cramps. Then having to go in and get carpel tunnel surgeries over this one. Butch
