If you are building a street rod that you want tobe a driver, come to the future and take a look at the LS based Generation III and IV motors. They are available in a number of vehicles including late maodel trucks and SUVs. They will make great power and with EFI abd computer control will even get great gas mileage too, Best of both worlds. I have an LS1 in my Studebaker and just love it.
