Unless AirRide takes that thing up 10", I wouldn't make it out of my neighborhood. State of Maryland also frowns upon obstructing the driver's view and open exhaust. I like the wheels and tires though.

That's a nice hot rod. Is that an Olds motor? Is there a kit with a decent Olds mill?

The recent Revell '50 Olds kits have decent gen-one Olds V8 engines. 

The ancient Revell Stone-Woods-Cook Willys kit has a better one, 6-71 blown and injected and backed up by a classic B&M Hydramatic.

The also ancient Revell Anglia and Thames panel have the same basic Olds engine as the SWC Willys, but they're both Hilborn injected.

And the very old Revell Roth Beatnik Bandit has the same engine again, but 4-71 blown with carbs.

A three 2-barrel manifold and a nice stock style water pump and timing cover are in the AMT '40 Ford Tudor.

By mixing parts from both early and late Revell Olds engines and the ancient AMT bits, you can build a really nice early Olds engine.

Well, you can build maggot-gagging puke, or you can build beautiful. It's all up to the builder, right?

 

I prefer beautiful. B)

I think I like your idea better.  I guess that makes me shallow, but I'm just not that big a fan of "personality"
