You're right. I mean why would I want to do something boring like teaching her how to do an engine swap, she might really get hooked on the hobby then. Better to put all that power in the hands of a 16 year old girl right off the bat and just pay the insurance to boot.

You are ill informed.
The I-6 CAN be built up for plenty of power, AND they are more reliable than "V" motors.

In that case, what you want is a military surplus (helicopter) gas turbine like the ones they use in racing boats.....and don't forget the wing and spoilers...you're gonna need 'em!

There actually isn't a whole lot left to do, just lot's of details and finish work really. Problem is I haven't been able to touch it since the 1st of July as I was remodeling the nursery up until baby came. The mother in law is coming for 2 weeks to help out and then my mom for 2 weeks after that so I hope to be able to use the time to try and finish it up. Probably won't get it on the road but I'll be happy if it's ready for the spring. It's just been to damn long.

There's a nice looking '65 Falcon up the road from me for sale......Black w/ red accents and red interior. If I wasn't broke I'd go check and see how much the owner wants for it.

When I am finally done I'll be too busy enjoying it again and catching up on yard and house projects to work on a car for a long time. All though in a week or so my neighbor is driving down to florida to pick up a sportsroof project that I am sure he is going to be looking to me for help on so we'll see how it pans out.
