I think the ultimate hotrodded stovebolt I've been around was the pit truck for a sports car race team I was once associated with. It was a 55 1st. with a Ferrari v-12 engine, a Colloti 5-speed trans, and a Jaguar XK-150 rear axle. Of course, it ran like a Fzzzaz, and handled like a stovebolt! Not the best combination in the world, but it was a real head-turner in the late 1960's!
