Thanks for the link! I knew someone had already figured all this out.
I've been thinking that if I can move it back a few inches (6-8) an LS1 might be light enough to give me near 50/50 weight distribution. But I also like the aluminum Rover V8 idea... many have also suggested using Datsun 210 stuff.
Initially I want to get it on the road on a budget and work out all the bugs (no pun intended)... and I've been thinking that since it was originally white with a red interior that I might change it up just a little with a flat black rat rod-ish exterior, stock red interior, red stock steal wheels with whitewalls and the stock crome dog dish center caps. I could even put the Big Daddy Roth "It's Only A Sprite" decals on the front fenders! What do you think?
