Didn't think about the engine.... That is something I would stuff in a roadster not an old truck. I guess I could leave the hood off of the truck! You would have to with an engine like that.
I'm looking for gas, period correct engine and not a V8.
I did bid again on the V12 Seagrave engine on eBay, but luckily someone outbid me at the last minute... That would be neat, but a lot of work to make it right!
I'm really leaning towards a 261. I would like something a little different, but that would certainly be the easiest and most reliable option. I did drive it about a 100 miles this weekend! Only used 2 quarts of oil in a 100 miles. If there is a good side, people don't follow me that close.
