Here is a pic with the '57 show car and our '55 project car, the '57 is running a Ramjet 502 BBC/T56, shortened 9" out back with 4.11s, mini tubbed 3" the whole frame was powder coated silver, the underside of the body was color matched and bed linered, the interior is 8way power seats from a Lexus, Focal 12 speaker 2400watt stereo. It has one Best Ride on Intros, Staff Pick, and one more I can't remember from Goodguys Rod and Customs, as well as Judges Pick from the Altamont Cruisers Nostalgia Day, and Best 50's from the Stockton County Car show.
The '55 is completely original with no rust, the motor is a 265 V-8 with a 4bbl on top, and a 3 on the tree, the 56yr old original motor still runs but smokes a bit as you can see in the picture....The plans for this one include either a 283sbc or a TPI 305 and 5speed from a 87 IROC Camaro.

Yep. I used to drive a '97 Cummins. It was a father/son project. we replaced the fuel plate, new Gov springs, 320hP injectors, upgraded turbo wheels, manual waste gate, straight 5", and the killer dowel pin fix. The factory 47RE didn't last all that long. I'm wanting to do a manual swap after my truck is done if I can do it for less then the cost of a semi-built 47Re build.
The reason I said the HO72 was for more of a stock look. The only bad thing would be the gearing thought. 60 would still be mean. As long as you stay away from the *yawn* 9".
The 55 is sweet. I could never bring myself to mess with it. All the power to you though!
