John,
No way I'm going to cut a hole in my hood to fit an American
Lump. I suppose if I did though, I could put one of those neeto ABS
plastic hood scoops from Pep-Boys. ;-) ;-) <----Sarcastic Smileeyys.
I like the clean lines of the Spit, and I'll try my darnedest to make
frame modifications to get that motor under the stock hood.
I only had to drop the GT-6 motor 1.5" to get it to clear the Spit hood,
so we'll see how the 215 goes. I go to look at it this afternoon.
Just to cheese a few more people off, (or provide a good laugh), I was
going to leave the rest of the drivetrain stock to see how long it can
hold up! Hopefully it will hold up long enough for me to amass enough cash
to buy/make a stiffer drivetrain.
EVERYONE HAVE A GOOD WEEKEND, and don't take life (or originality) too
seriously. Have fun with your cars if you have the proper combination of
sun, time and a working LBC. B-)
