[V8Vairs] Ebay car

[mike & bev mann]

the cad 500 cuin weighs in about 100# more than a small block chevy and
gobs of torque compared to the sb. your going to end up about 1000# lighter
than the cad so it's the placement of weight rather than the total weight
that would be of concern. to bad there isn't a 5-6 speed trans and diff.
that you could adapt and imho i'd go with a auto trans because of the
torque. if it isn't enough torque you could always add a turbo(VBG)-mike
