Probably a small block chevy. The distributor location, exhaust ports, intake ports, and bell housing bolt patern all look like sbc to me.

Too bad..it didn't sound too bad..was gonna say it sounded about as half as good as a y block..lol

Definitely SBC.

You have got me looking at this kit very seriously, I think a Y would look great in one of those.

20 k for a rat rod seems a lil steep no? lol

Maybe not. They may not always look like much but there is still a lot of time involved building them. Plus it is a style which seems to be catching on so prices will increase. Next time you're at a show with rat rods, look beyond the rust and primer. There is often much innovation in those vehicles - things that if you cannot do them yourself, you will pay handsomely. Some of them are essentially the same quality as a big buck street rod. They just chose not to "finish" it.

Base kit is only 6K, no body but that give you the chance to make something different. You can still find old steel out there sometimes cheep.

Hmmm... if someone is interested to buy our rat rod with blown Y with 20k, it will definetely be sold to him BigGrinBigGrin

If I could only weld :'(

Is there any reason you can't?

You can get a new welder real cheap. Get one and some steel and practice!
