Getting the Wheeling Fever
had some trouble with my kia...it got burnt up a little. so now I am going to do a rebuild/redsign. the only thing that will be kia is the body and frame. its getting a ford v8(5.0) and auto tranny. a d44 front a 9" rear and will be 4 link front and 4 link wishbone rear. it will run 35's and be exo'd. I am replacing the doors with undented ones and installing new fenders.i will have it looking good. the exo will help keep it that way. it is going to be a long project. got to get my daily driver going first then work starts on the kia.

Aren't you worried about the weight bias being way off?

I was considering a 3.8 V6 from the late '90s ford or chevy; close to a hundred pounds lighter. Eventually, I came to the conclusion to go turbo instead with a stand alone computer. it will only add about 35-60 pounds and a lot of power...

I couldn't imagine it being much heavier than 275 assembled without accessories...

My 350 block weighed 157lbs totally stripped...
