Black Betty

Post by Reece42 »

Hey all, this is my current project/pride and joy/ dream car.
she's a 1961 EK with a planned v8 conversion. looking at a 307 but unsure on the transmission for now.
Currently short a subframe, so any help on that would be great! :ebiggrin:

yeah i'm pretty sure it was mate. purchased it off him with a tone of spares, just never had a subframe. been a real pain to find one since

Small update. Picked up a heart today. Not quiet the 307, but close enough! Chev 305 out of a 1977 Camaro.
