Thanks guys....I got me a Speedway cat. from a friend today. Now starts the dreaming. This is something I have always wanted to do. SMILE RCKID

Thank you for the info. I don't want to come off as a smart a_ _ but you have confirmed what I thought all along. But there are know it alls out here that said it would not work. And due to the fact this is my first I wanted to be real sure. I plan on using an engine cross member from TPI and putting an X brace in the center. I had considered partial box or gussits around the engine area and rearend area. Once again thanks for the confirmation. RCKid

Hope I don't sound real dumb!
I am building my first street rod out of a 1928 Dodge Victory6.
My question : "Is the 28 frame strong enough for a SB Chevy/with an Automatic Xmsn?" If not what should I do to the frame to get it ready for the SB Chevy? I would like to keep the original leaf spring/straight axle setup if possible. I have included a pic for those who have never seen a 28 Victory frame. Thanks; the rckid
