Year's ago I went down the same road thinking about a repowered straight 8 project. At one point I bought a Buick for the rebuilt motor and have had it stashed since. After riding around in a buddies roadster I decided someday I needed a roadster and since part of the reason I love the 8's is their looks my thought is to use it in that project. My plan is to build an AD truck roadster. I wanted to get the proportions right so I built a model. The straight 8 model motor was built by cutting two sixes in half so it's height isn't quite right but you get the idea. Last year while delivering parts to a body shop customer of mine I dug a very roached cab out of their scrap pile. After salvaging the only good couple pieces out of it that someone might need for patch panels I started cutting it down to the roadster body.. Someday I'll get back on this project. Mongo
