A 20b would be a nice addition, but I think I would start by getting the automatic out and the five speed in.

In the written description it says it is a four speed auto, on speed channel it said it was an auto, but the picture looks like a manual.

Chevy expieremented with the rotary engine in the early 70's, but dropped it when the gas crisis hit. They built a few custom 4 rotor, mid-engine 'vettes.

My two dream projects are:

1. '56 Nomad with a full Skyline drivetrain under it pushing ~800 AWHP.
2. mid-40's Ford pickup with a single'd 20b, but i'll never be able to afford either, so i can only dream and wish.
