I want to keep the 235 in my 61, but I would like to build the truck a little bit more for the street. I want to lower it a bit (2 inches), get some nice classic rims (cragars or something like that), headers (fentons), dual exhaust (with 40 series flowmasters), a new back bumper (stock white painted), and a t-5 transmission.
But my main query is how does one go about building a 235? Is it possible to build one that can rev a little bit and handle quick shifting and that kind of abuse. I want to have a single 4 barrell carb, and other than that I am in the dark. Have any of you built a 235 for the sreet, or am i [censored]' into the wind on this one?
Thanks in advance for your help and advice.
