It’s not so much engines, my friends found axle bearings, steering parts, rear ends, transmissions, etc, etc. just two bitting them to death. If you have a seasonal lot at the lake and limped it out there and home twice a year ok but if your wanting to haul your car around to shows, I would look for something a little better. My opinion
My first attempt at a mortise and tenon joint, kind off rough but learned a lot
