Saw a Met in a Scottsdale show with a 289 Ford in it. Only way you could
tell from the outside was the exhaust pipe exiting in front of the rear wheel
on each side of the car, otherwise it looked stock. Pretty neat. BTW, Met
rear axles are direct replacements for your bugeye. Ask me how I know!

We still have my dad's Metro in the family and I thought about putting a B
engine and tranny in it.
BTW, did you know that there were Nash Metros and Hudson Metros?
