Im thouroughly intrigued by what youve just said... plus CAT was built for double and triple snail shells.... HMMM may have to look into this. Also calling it a Clydesdale is golden where ever did you hear that?

Will the car handle like total sh*t though (sluggish, like a big boat in a hurricane) with that much extra weight on the front? How about the suspension?

The 69, weighed roughly 400-600 lbs more then the '66-'68, and the '67 was regularly fitted with an inline 6 i feel it will handle very similarly to '69 V-8 Big Block, Id be an idiot not to upgrade the suspension, as well as you are correct the car will handle very sluggish if i just drop a motor in it, however that is where an upgraded suspension and Sequential turbos are important, and why the correct auto trans is so important and why the Ford 9" rear is so important, I'm hoping to have so much torque i can lift the front end off a full spool launch, which is also why ive swapped my focus to a full 6BT swap (still considering the 4BT, so i dont have to cut the car), as the weight of the motor would hold it down.

So ended up buying a '66 289w V8 hardtop will update with pictures as i finish restoring the body and paint
