Oh hell yes!
I love cars from the 50s, 60s and 70s that some would tag "homely". Which to me are interesting cars which beg to be made sleepers. The only thing wrong with that build is the fuel cell cutting down on baguette storage.
And what motor/tranny is that?

YEs, what engine? Why the huge diaphragm and the distributor off of a submarine?

That's not gonna understeer...
I'm guessing the CIS fuel distributor is from a big old MB V8.

Actually it should have better weight distribution than most FWDs. Too cool

Very nice.
If you did that for <$2k I'm selling the tools and taking up bowling.

probably right as it looks like it has 8 ports, 4 of which are plugged.
