I guess you could make it work, but the beauty of the 8.8 is that in the Exploder, the punkin is off-center by 2 7/8 inches. You just have a fab shop cut the long tube down by that same amount and get another short-side axle.
And no, the car had a 194 ci straight six in it when I bought it. It really was in good shape, and my dad said I'd regret hot rodding it. If I could have it in the same shape as when I bought it today, I'd do it in a minute. I bought the 350 from a guy in Tampa when I rode in the Camaro it was in and the guy pulled the front end off the street...impressed me and I was too intimidated at the time to try to rebuild a motor, so I bought it. Dirt cheap, too, because big blocks were all the rage.
Your cars sound too cool, Flame!
Sorry for all the car talk, folks...I know that this is a pond forum!
