    Nice update, That thing keeps looking better and better. Great work. Cant wait to see it all together.
     
  29. I think the problem some people may have with the sbc in this case is because this is such a different rod, so unique, that the sbc seems kinda "normal" I am not sure what would go well with a Durant hot rod??? maybe a '50 Hudson Hornet flat head six? or a supercharged Studie?? The car looks great Levi, leave the sbc in it for now, maybe down the road something will catch your eye. At least it is a "traditional" sbc, not just another 350/350 crate deal, I have seen some mighty cool 265, 283, 327's going way back... good job.

    I just don't think you can beat a 283, I love those old motors. Only small block I love more is the 327. Looking good man.
