I have been thinking of building a 30 hotrod for few years now. finally I bought a 30 coupe . this is what i have in mind . 30 coupe chopped 3" , 3" channeld . Boling brothers 2-8 frame. 272 y block or 289 t5 tranny wide 5 wheels 32 dash 9" rear end 32 grill i prefer to use hood , so i can register the car. I don’t want to modify the firewall . no previous experience with hotrods what so ever, restored 67 mustang eleanor replica , 65 fastback , 66 lincoln . help appreciated regards
To get the engine to fit you may be able to flip the firewall backwards but I am pretty sure the chassis will have to be stretched, so you are going to probably have to fab up your own hood.
