This is the sort of thing that hot rodders and street machiners have been doing forever. Such is the strength of the after market for popular models such as Ford and Chevy that there are kits available for just about every upgrade imaginable. My own dream is a 1956 Chevy Nomad on an Art Morrison chassis with LS3 or even LSA running gear. That could make for practical every day transport. Only a potential budget of $200,000 standing in my way.
