A flathead for a T-bucket?

While the image of a flattie wearing polished Offy heads is a nice one; remember you're living in the 2000's!
Go with a punched out 460 on the bottle with a built C6 behind it Local old guy built one just that way. With a 3500 RPM stall-speed converter in the C6, it's difficult to keep the front wheels (and that big heavy engine) on the ground at a stoplight.

But, what a cool ride!

Not a bucket.....it's a roadster has a trunk (all one piece original steel body) kinda like a short 32

Now that is a cool idea.. but I want to go vintage...not quite rat rod type but very 50's.
Besides I have 302 and could get simliar results
