One of moms old HS friends was a former drag racer and later school autoshop teacher. He drove around a junky looking Mazda pickup in which he transplanted a 351 with two 4 barrels on it. It just as well have had a rocket motor jammed in it :-)

I bought a 70 Nova 2 door. 233 in line six, 3 on the tree for 50 dollars at a fire department auction.
2nd gear was out. Put a Hurst shifter on the floor. Found a 4Bbl intake in a bone yard. Got a 2in exhaust and a header hand bent with a glass pack and an exhaust cut out, welded the subframes together and air shocks wired to a compressor.
Super sleeper, steel wheels, Nu finish color waxed the faded paint.
Left the bench seats in it.

Wasn't a muscle car but it took off like a scalded dog. Man I loved that car.
Destroyed it on a wet winding road late at night. Sad end to a good car.
