Re: Thinking about building a rat rod with a 366. Worth it or no?
I will have to agree with prostreetc-10.
In stock form the 366's are turds. Certainly not what I would call a torque monster. I think a 350 would make close to as much torque. Every 366 I have been around, when the time came for a new engine, it was replaced with a 427. Plus then the big 5 speed and 2 speed rear. To package all that together with a tiny Crosley body on top is going to look goofy at best.
For $1000 you could buy a decent running car or squarebody truck and have everything you need that will be much easier to build and make look decent.
