Never forget doing a frame under conversion.  Lots of leg room.  As much
V8 as you want plus real brakes, power steering, AC and you can pick up
parts at your local pep boys

    I would like to see your "real brakes" stacked up against my drums in 
stopping power. The corvair brakes were designed for 4000 lb cars. If you put the 
right material in for brake shoes they WILL stop as good or better than any 
disc brakes, repeatedly. I routinely stop from over 100 mph with NO brake fade 
during a race and my race car is street legal. Although, not a V-8 powered car.
    This is not a personal dig, I am just trying to disparge any falacies.
