The engine shall go be used in a Dodge Business Coupe from 1936. I have also a 727 and 83/4 rear axle with 3.73 gear. I will use 16" rims.
I will use it in the street almost as a daily driver. I would like to have as high power and torque as possible. It would be great if I could get close to 500 hp. I prefer to use what I have as long it makes sense.
