    Okay, Jack, you know I am more than a little slow when it comes to these things. How do I register, or whatever, so i can make comments.?

    Now to the important stuff....what a hot rod that is going to be! What tranny are you considering for this project?

        Dude, you're going to be able to lay stripes for a country mile with that setup! You'd better take video of that first quarter-mile run

              Jack Title says building car for son. Are you really going to do the work or is James going to be building it his self. Kidding aside great project. Sleeper deluxe. David

                    Jack,
                    Just make sure when you clean out a garage space for the Lark, I'll take whatever you throw away to make room. Engines, 4-speeds, superchargers, chrome, convertibles..........you get the idea!!!

                              The sub-title for that blog might have to be "how to fold up a Studebaker frame like a pretzel..."

                              My step brother put one of these monsters in his '70 Chevelle and could not keep motor mounts in it. Finally he had to chain the motor to the frame...

                              Good luck and be careful.
