[Spridgets] Big Healey question

[corvallis at peoplepc.com]

Go to a mid-engine setup like the 1980's Dodge vans where the motor was by
your side. Have to increase the body width a bit though if you wanted
passenger seating.   ...bill in oregon

There is a local fellow and his son that wrapped a bugeye body around a Big
Block Hemi.

I say wrapped around because they built a custom chassis including
suspension.

It is yellow and has been discussed here before.

If I were to put a V8 in a Spridget it would be a rubber bumper car since
they are stronger overall.  It would go in way farther back than a stock
setup.  They can be had all day long for 500 to 2000 bucks.

Lets say you buy a Big Healey for 10K and drop a V8 in.  It is still worth
10K maybe 15.

It left stock it is worth 20K once running
