So, my wife Carly has been looking for a 350Z as a scoot about car for a while, she is also a muscle car/rod girl. We were actually on the way to look at a Z when we got the Bee at a local specialty car dealer last year.

So, fast forward to last Saturday. We went out to look at another Z car as she is expecting some money from a court case. Of course we have to go past the same car lot on the way to look at the Z car, and of course we have to stop to see what cars are in stock.

They have some neat ones there, some 442's, Vette's, a really nice 58, Camaro's etc, along with a stock 38 Ford, a 41 Pontiac and a 41 Chrysler. Well, she fell in love with the Chrysler.

Its a 41 Chrysler coupe body, with a 37 Chevy nose, wich is good, cause i dont really like the wide front ends on 30's and 40's Chryslers. It has a 350/350/12 bolt and frame from a 77 Monte Carlo. Cant win em all i guess. Great stereo, bucket seats, AC, solenoid doors, air shocks, etc.

I may research and see what has to be done to mount a 318 or 340/727/8.75 on a Chevy frame and put the Chevy drivetrain in my sons 79 Monte.

They want $25,000 for the car

nice wheels. as for the sbc power train, not a big deal. personally i would go small block, probably the 340. to me the older resto rod is a nicer pakage with the small blocks. save the big blocks for the power era. as you i don't agree with the cross breeding of the power trains. lots of people do it due to the sheer volume of parts. it bums me out to see a 40,000.00 dollar rod project with a 3-5000.00 cross beed power plant. they had me until they lifted the hood.
i have a 1950 f-1 ford pick up with a 5lt. h/o gt stang motor and a c-6 trans and i love it. as for switching it back to mopar its not a big deal. take your time, plan it out and work the plan. rick
