The ad isn't totally clear. It does have a different rear end (Ford?) with
related drum brakes. Mentions rebuit front end, but doesn't tell whether it's
a stock rebuild or something different. I'd be surprised if a totally stock
front would carry the weight of a big engine like that. But I've tossed the
link and I can't find it again, so I may have missed or forgotten something
from the ad.
It is a pretty car, but the engine just looks weird to me with everything
painted the same cream color as the rest of the car. Even the blower - don't
remember every seeing a painted blower before.
Personally though, if I really wanted the TD look with that kind of
drivetrain, I think I would have gone for a kit/replicar rather than
molesting the real thing like that.
