Street Rod, Tennessee Style

[393Bird]

I was at a car show last weekend, and this beast drove in, and entered. I thought he had the engine tied down in the bed to sell, but it is where it is mounted. It is a BB Chevy with a 871 blower with "3" 4 barrel carbs. It feeds the power through the trans, into a offshore race boat V drive, back into a flipped Ford 9 inch rear.

I talked to the guy for some time, and he lives just outside Nashville, and drives it on the weekends if the weather is decent. He has the little baffles in the header tubes, and they meet Tn codes. My Bird shacks the ground, but I could not even tell mine was running when his was fired up.

That's pretty neat. Alot of thought, time, and money invested. It's kinda wierd, but it's different so I like it. I wouldn't do it myself, but I would definately ask alot of questions about it. Pretty cool if you ask me.

That's freaking awesome. He should finish out the area under the hood and turn it into a nice trunk. Maybe throw some subwoofers in there ...

Sweet! Yeah I've seen that car up at Rod Runs in Pigeon Forge. This car has to be seen in person. :rockon:

Maybe throw some subwoofers in there ...

Sub Woofers? Hell, he has 8 woofers pointed straight up in the rear

I bet with all that weight in the back he gets plenty of traction!

Cool car, Don't get me wrong but the only thing holding that motor and tranny up above that custom driveline and ground, are 2 swaybars that look too little to be foxbody gt sways. I assume theres a custom cradle there somewhere!..

+1 id love to see that thing launch w/ no front weight.
