Bentley, Nice Collection - and it must be a joy going to work every day. I'm thinking that Yellow & White Nash Metro would perform significantly better with a 383 small block, TH400, and a nine-inch rear sitting in a tube chassis. With a set of wheelie bars of course.

Why Wheelie Bars are a good investment for a small-block powered Nash Metro.

The complete drive train from the '75 Chevy will do fine. Sometimes sacrifice needs to be made in the pursuit of pure HP outrageousness. Convince Dad he needs a Pro Street Car in his collection and start cutting it up.

How easy is it getting parts over there?
