The wreck I mentioned above... He was getting on it a little, but not really hard. Radical big-block Ford sounded sweet. When the rear suspension broke the car veered right and ran off the road.
The car rolled over twice and ended up on its right side. The driver got a broken arm from flopping around inside - no seatbelts!
Whoever built this car cut the ears off the Ford 8.8 rear end, repositioned them, and MIG welded them back on!
Any dumbass who doesn't know you can't MIG weld cast iron with steel wire hasn't got any business building cars.
Moral of the story - inspect what you're buying very closely and if you don't know what you're looking at, get experienced help.
