I wanted to enjoy a (sorta) big V8 with a live axle--before they're illegal--so I bought a Mustang.

No thanks, I've got my original lump sitting in my garage in case someone down the line wants to undo all my hard work. And if someone did want to go in that direction, it wouldn't be that difficult. I tried to do as little modifications to my BJ7 as possible. The original engine mount towers were retained and the only sheet metal work that would need to be redone would be to restore the footboxes (I even kept the pieces I removed) OTOH, it's a BJ7 and I'm not sure prices of this model would make that a worthwhile endeavor. And if you've never driven or ridden in a well-built Nasty Boy, sign up for the experience. You're likely to have a lump in your throat and perhaps an extra lump in your garage as well. Obviously, not everyone's cup of tea, but I'm enjoying the heck out of mine.

Now if we can just find a nice, 6-cyl 'lump' for HealeyRick ...
