My bad here -- mixed what-fors.

I was thinking ahead to my Navarro turbo six (next
project... :-) It's a 66 or 67 block, so it takes the old six
bell pattern. Clearly no stock six trans will be usable at 500hp.

I want quasi-old-timey-like for the car that will be built around
this motor. (First time I've ever done it that direction!) It'll
be front engine, rear drive unless I luck out and find a
Hallibrand rear like the #50 car. I sitll kick myself for not
going into debt and buying the actual #50 transaxle.

I'm still thinking tandem-seat 1920 Indy style hot-rod-ish
chassis, or if a factory car, a 64 Classic stripped to the shell.
The motor really deserves a nice chassis with an "A" style hood,
or no hood (the motor is quite pretty).
