The front frame looks like it would make a nice bouncy board, especially with
1000lb of engine and trans sitting up there. I’m still thinking a nice Benz
diesel engine and trans (606/722.6), would have to bodge up the ECU and TCM
somehow but I guess that would be doable. That would be some
Ford 460 gas engine is an absolute gas pig, the C6 transmission is an
antique. When I look at this "project" I'm seeing multiple bad decisions
and poor planning. Keep the engine/trans, I'll bid $200 for the messed up
hulk you are trying to sell, but only if you have front fenders, hood, and
grill
The grill is generally set back about even with the center of the front
wheels so the hood need not be so long as the frame might otherwise
suggest. The hood shouldn't be too hard to fabricate but the fenders and
grill would be more of an issue. I wonder how close fenders from some
other car
I love the doors hinged like that. With that long a front end it needs at
least a V12, if not a straight eight! It would be a much more interesting
project if it had the Mercedes front body work.
