Thats gotta be a fun one!!! When my wife and I got married back in 87, she had a '79 Mercury Bobcat with a factory v-6. WHAT A TURD!!! Wish I still had it now... Of course back then I had the bigblock 66 vette! I had a Chevy Astro with the 4.3 and thought when we started talking about the Bugster, it would be a GREAT engine to put in there. Right now we just have the stripped body and a pile of parts to build it. Gotta get the frame started pretty soon, my son is getting excited!! He's almost 16 and I figured if I made him pay for some of it and do some of the work he would appreciate the car more and therefore be more careful than if we just gave him something. I helped my dad build my stock Chevy Monza that I drove to school and that made me take more care of it I think. Although that little straight 4 cyl/4 speed would beat most v-8 cars through the intersection... not that I would know ANYTHING about that!!!
