oh imagine this.

a 58 buick with the nailhead with 8 exhaust pipes going to 8 cherry bomb glass packs then splices to 4 exhaust pipes with a 7 connector, making for a very complex sound and better breathing with vents in the exhaust behind the muffler to create a vaccume to help expell the exhaust.

i also want to extend the car, and with that torque tube and x frame i heard its really difficult. is there another frame like a boxed frame that i could easily extend with the body that wont require to much modification to make the body bolt up?

thank you

Try an early 70s Estate Wagon for the donor frame and use the 455.

well i want to stick to the original drive train on this one. i really love the nailhead. and those transmissions are very tough, more so then alot of modern ones! the estate wagon is a Buick wagon right?
