I'll stand by the Poncho OHC and collect cool points.
Thinking about it, a certain Studebaker engine seems to be locked-up. I've already been thinking of things I could do with a Poncho 350 I have sitting around. I wonder what my odds are of finding a decent OHV.
And this is how I open yet another can of worms.

C'mon, man. Studebaker flatty, all the way!

At this point, only one cylinder is allowing fluid by (acetone/ATF/PB), so it might be total rebuild or nothing, which is sad considering the mileage and general condition of everything else. If that's where it stays, I'll crate the original drivetrain and use some of my spare parts to make a fun bullet nose hot rod. Right now, I'm thinking spare Firebird parts will fill the bill.
Anything other than the all too typical 350/350 combo would be great, IMHO.
How about a 351 V6?
OMG OMGUnlike the almost identical one posted earlier, those wheels...
For once he isn't sniveling about a touch screen or a smart phone. If he lived in AZ I'd have guessed the cactus was prickling his balls under his dress. The way he's always sounding like some cranky old women with 20 cats...
They aren't identical and they each had their own unique features. I'm not really a fan of the early Corvette but they were both well done. Rim choices are always a contention and as we've all said many times can make or ruin a vehicle in the looks department.
Go BIG or Go home 56 GMC 503 I-6

That's kinda what I'm thinking. I have some options lying around with nothing to do, like a 283 or 327 and a couple Powerglides, but I also have an entire drivetrain from a '68 Firebird (350 Poncho/3-speed manual/rear end) with nothing else to put them in since I have that stuff for my '67. I'm thinking the bullet nose would be a good candidate for those parts in a 60s hot rod/racer type build, assuming I can't get the stock 6 to spin and run. Something between stock and gasser. Zoomies for the neighbors, tire fryin' for the kids, but I'm just dreamin' right now.
