Re: 59 bugeye

Richard,
We (the wife) have a 59 Sprite with a Buick 3.8 V6 and a GM Turbo 350 
automatic, and ford 9" rearend. It all fits but it is TIGHT. There is 
Very little foot room in the car due to the enlarged tunnel for the 
transmission. Engine heat is a problem, we currently run two 
electric fans and have a custom radiator and it is all questionable. 
Contact me of line if you have specific questions I'll try to answer 
them
Bob
