I agree with Locomotion on the weight issue. Did you happen to notice the difference between the location of the engine in the Craigslist car and the photos that 34066Sedan posted. The Craiglist car shows the majority of the engine forward of the front wheel centerline. All of the racers have engines that are moved back to where the harmonic balancer appears to be on the front wheel centerline.

Hope all goes well. The car ought to be a hoot, especially if you disguise the fact it has a hot V-8 in it. The Sox & Martin car is too obvious.
