talk about a nice project...picture this with a modern hemi/trans combo. Heck, go full-tilt and find a wrecked Hellcat and filch those bits and you'd really have something to talk about at cars and coffee.
I am now too old to do it, but that is about what I was thinking. A year or so ago ran across a 53-54 unrestored looking Ford Ranch wagon at a show on San Carlos Island. Second time I walked by hood was up and lo and behold there is a Rousch 5.0 in the bay. Ford full-tilt.
