well you dont even need a 9 inch but basically the easiest way to convert is to find a rusty v8 car

well im doing a ground up resto so i will already be in the heart of all. the car was orig. an inline just tryin to see what routes to take. i like the ford 9 for its reliability and tons of parts. everything else is getting an upgrade anyway.

I don'r know why everyone has to drop a v8 in, look at what Mike over at Classic Inlines is doing you can get a lot of horse power out of a 200 or 250 six.
