Howdy,
I wanna do a subaru 360 van, chopped top, a lotta lengthening, and
a front mounted blower on a 409......
I had one of these subaru's, put your shoulder on the drivers door
window, and stick your hand outside the passenger window! had a flat one
day with a couple of college students with me, they lifted the front end
while I changed the 10 inch tire.....was great fun, I was always racing
EVERYBODY!!!! and never got a speeding ticket.....7000 rpm shifts and I
could park it anywhere!!! some of the guys at the shop I was working at put
it between a couple of trees once......hell of a time getting it outa
there.....70 MPG to boot.....
