Put one of those little Oldsmobubbles in a '66 Datsun truck when I was about your age. Engine didn't weigh much more than the iron 1300cc 4cyl that we pulled out of it. Saginaw 4spd, used the Datsun hydraulic clutch system, Chebbie 6 bolt truck wheels all the way round, stock diff was 4.88s, 2" body lift before body lifts were even a thing, made the slightly modified :lol: trans tunnel out of fiber glass. Header flange kit and 6 or 8 180° U bends and some straight tubing for the tri-y headers, torch welded together by yours truly, no leaks :D. We did drag the chassis to our friendly body shop/race car shop for the final welding of the engine mounts I tacked together and the body lift. It was a stop light to stop light animal. Swap the Armstrong Norseman mud and snow tires on it and head for the Mojave :steering:. In a hghly desert sun altered dark red :lol:
