I want my t-roadster hot rod. Not dissimilar to that Jeep.

I haven't made my mind up on power plant...I think I'd like an Olds 257" straight 8. Obviously the idea isn't for raw power - how much do you need in a 1600lb jalopy? - but rather, to be a bit out of the ordinary. Other engine choices I find interesting would be an Aussie Hemi slant six, or a Lincoln V12. Lower on the totem pole, I'd consider a 351 Cleveland, Seagrave V12, Jag V12, Cadillac 331, Lincoln 430, early Hemi V8, or Ford/Chevy 300/292 straight sixes.other than that, it'd be straight rat rod

Now that I think about it, if I had the $$$ I would rock a Ferrari Colombo V12. One of the best soundtracks in all of motordom.

I really like that Vette Nomad!
