Ok, I'm hoping that you guys on here can give me opinions on this one...
It is a 1970 1600CC Ford (Kent) motor backed up by a 1973 pinto transmission. The tires are new Pirelli's.
I would need to get windscreens and some other items to get it street legal.
It is (was) modeled after a 1930s MG racer. I think that this thing has a ton of potential but want to get an idea on a few things...
1.) What do you think is a reasonable price for something like this?
2.) Thoughts on converting to a small V8? Possibly a small for say 260 or 289? Do you think the frame could handle the additional weight? If not maybe an aluminum Buick 215? I think a V8 would set this apart.
3.) Huge fuel can - Is this a safety hazard if the car were to get hit?
Looking for any other thoughts and opinions
