But until it breaks, there's no reason not to use it, except your time to build it of course.

I love the crazy rat rod combos too. They just look badass!

I don't think I need a Crosley engine, but I can let my girlfriend know you have one for sale. She has five other Crosleys lmao
It won't be free, I made an offer of a thousand for the engine, trans, and axles. But it does sound awesome and run awesome in the truck it's in right now!

Should run long enough to get my 383 going. Then its blown tranny time and etc etc. But running moving vehicle for now.
And just think about the towing capability of the 366.

Like I told cadillac_al, it wouldn't be free, but it would be unique and awesome.
