Yah! Go for it! It's got all the right ingredients - aluminum, good
price, won't have to use the cutting torch _too_ much to slide in there.
Uh... better pick up a tranny and diff, hmm, axles too, to go with the

Doh! - I'll bet you'll need to find the right paint codes to keep it
original looking. And can you just drill out the jets on a pair of SU's?
All that torque might bend your wheels, too, and you know what a pain it is
to straighten them, and the guy there might see that your heater valve has
been polished.
So would the VTR make you show this in the Mod. class?
