Default Power Tour 2011

Just thought I would share my new aquisition. 59 Bel Air. 71,000 miles. Unrestored (besides the obvious) Any suggestions for powertrain? I was thinking an LS dropout with trans.

-----I vote for the six with a multiple intake and a split exhaust with some gutted &quot;Smittys&quot;. Dare to be different. How fast do you see yourself going in that 59 anyway??? Ah,,,Just a thought........Bill S
