Very cool, thanx for posting that. I had a KB-2 for awhile. I was going to streetrod it but never got to it. Still have some bit's and pieces to get rid of.

Very cool! Nice to see something different, and that certianly fits the bill!

I also like the sticker on the back of the cab. "Rust is a Color"

Way cool. Is it really a one-of-204 W-41 motor, or just a coil cover?

Given that even the VIN D Q4 that I just picked up has more net HP than the pavement-ripping 307 in my Custom Cruiser, I had briefly toyed with that swap (well, to include a supercharger, of course), but then I remembered the 403 I got last weekend... My Q4 really needs to go in a track roadster anyway.

I toyed with a similar idea. I have a 386hp Pontiac Super Duty 4 cylinder that I thought about putting in my cruiser as it's 386hp. But it would look silly in there.

Now that is a sweet ride. Very nicely done. There were some nice race parts for those engines too.
