I'm about to get my hands on a 240 rolling body. Now, as a hot rodder the first thought is v8 (Dad is building a 1956 studebaker w/ chevy bb. Been doin hot rods all my life (17yrs old).) Word on the street is that there used to be a smaller v8, made with aluminum. But I'm still trying to plan this out. What are your guys's opinions on what the fate of this car should be?
