I just purchased a very solid 79 3/4 chevy. Very clean frame, very straight body. She has no engine and no tranny.

My plan is for the time being, Clean it up all nice, Coat the frame, fix up the interior.

Once I get some money saved up I would really like to drop in a Detroit with possibly a 10 speed road ranger. Any thoughts? A twin stick would be sweet too.. I will post pictures soon.

Also thought about a 6bt cummins.. But I would greatly prefer a 4-53t or even better a 6-53t but thats a pretty dang big engine.

I want a challenge but I don't want it to be too incredibly impossible. Money isnt so much of an issue as this will be a long term project.

Any tips, hints, thoughts, would be much appreciated!
