I am building my van in the 70's style with some updates but the engine, small or big block will be built to 400+ hp & I will be running a 4-speed Muncie trans behind it. Brad

Just enough to scare the hell out of most of my "car guy" buddies,and still be able to drive it 7 hours to an event. I actually welcome,....No CHALLENGE Hot Rod to build a Hot Rod van.Early Mid Year or Late Model..... We know there are no catalogs to build this van from.I would be really interested to see what they could come up with..... ........Wookee

Sometimes they do cooler stuff but it is getting rare. When is the last time you saw a 502 end up in a build car, or a chop, etc. It is all about advertising and money (from performance part manufacturers).
If you are going to be a bum, you may as well be their king.

With those slicks on there, the hotter they got the more they would stick.
