i am not a purist either, my 54 has a pacer front end, suspension, nova rearend new rear lowering springs 2 carbs, dual exhaust. and i would like to have the new straight six in it, budget won't allow but i can wish. the fibreglass thing does set make me womder if it is real. does a 350/350 combo still make you a stovebolter? 2 cents worth
