HELP!
I now am sorry to have started the chain about "PLINTH", it took awhile =
but I was informed of what it is and now I feel thtupid!!! What I seek =
now is advice. I gave my son my parts Spit so he could do a frame off =
resto and much to my surprise, he wants to put a small block V-8 under =
the bonnet.=20
I told him I didn't think it would work well due to weight and space. I =
told him I thought handling would suffer and clearance for the tranny =
was also a problem.. I also told him I had seen (many years ago) an =
article in Hot Rod magazine about a fellow from Texas with a small block =
Chevy in a bug-eyed Sprite. Does anyone out there have any experience =
with such a conversion? I enjoy the four banger and it is more powerful =
than I need to enjoy. Any advice to pass along to him would be greatly =
appreciated.
