318 Street/Strip build?

My question was more rhetorical than anything--I KNOW how to relocate them--I wanted to know why Wyrmrider thought it was worthy of a good luck statement.
Thanks for the link and reminder rumble/ ratrod
OP you can overpower that chassis with a stock 360
do the chassis first
if strip stock or 6 cylinder bars
if on the road the largest you can find
good luck on that 8 3/4 width/ spring perches almost easier to build a 9" Ford mustang or find something else that fits
thanks for being on board with the connectors- we bent more than one of those up
even with the 413 we had to keep a wide torque band with the stock big heavy three speed even more so than the TF we switched to
stock cam was too long so we used special Isky then Racer Brown

To me, this makes sense except for the Ford 9 thought. IF you have the funds and your going big, then fine.

Chassis first? Good. Simple additions work and are cheap and easy.
Sub Frame Connectors
Thinner T-bars if you don't already have a /6 bars
Drag shocks
Better springs. In order, S/S springs, Cal Tracks, Asassin bars.
Then go to lightening the car and your fat and skinny wheels / tires.
