The '56 was a low rider about a month ago, with a somewhat anemic 265/Powerglide in it. We built the 350, and dropped in some performance parts, plus the fenderwell headers. Put a set of side motor mounts and a TH350 with crossmember. Then put a pair of 409 coils in the front and a pair of ball joint spacers. Took the lowering blocks out of the back and replaced the leafs with some re-arched leafs. It went from low and slow to high and fast!
He picked up a Weiand tunnel ram yesterday for it, and that will replace the Edelbrock TK-1 and Eddy carb. some time in the near future. It's really a pretty car inside and out, so not much needed to make it a classic gasser style car.
