Well I bought another car!

[BLOWN95GT]

Well I went to buy a transmission from my dads friend and ended up coming home with the whole car and almost cost me a divorce!
Transmission is a 2 speed powerglide with good internals aftermarket jw case and bell, transbrake valve body and 1.76 first gear. The car is a full tubular chassis with a aftermarket narrowed ford 9" and 4 link rear suspension car weigh's 2600 lbs. when it has a motor in it. It is a 1962 studebaker lark, it has everything except a motor and ignition system. He even gave me a moroso aluminum radiator with an electric fan, soft touch stutter box, front motor plate, and electric water pump. Got the whole car for $1500. Still trying to decide on if I should finish the mustang before I start on this, and what kind of engine setup I would want to run in it. Here are a few pics.
Still on the trailer

Ls motor all the way!!!

[BLOWN95GT]

Well I don't know about the ls but it will definitly be a sbc since that is what the car is already set up for. I was thinking just to start with take a stock 350 4 bolt main which I have a few laying around at the shop and bore and stroke it to a 383 but couldn't decide if I would want high compression n/a or high compression with nitrous. I want it to run at least low 6's or high 5's in the 1/8th.

Yea Bob has been a close friend of the family for as long as I can remember. I remember walking around lassiter mountain at 3 and 4 years old with bob and my dad. I've been around the car long enough to watch it change colors 3 times and my dad even drove it a couple of times down the track. So when he offered me the deal on the car I didn't think twice about giving him what he asked for it. Bob is an awesome guy!
