Todd Varble did two of them, he is the guy with the LS motor in an all fiberglass 1937 Ford coupe that was "faux" finished and on the cover of all the street rod magazines. I'll try to get a contact number.

You can check this out, I had a phone number but it's no good now. He shows up in a bubble-top (LS1) at Bob's Big Boy in Toluca Lake on Friday nights sometimes.

NOt to hijack, but does anyone know the difference between the Chevy X-Frame and the Buick X-Frame in 1961. I noticed a difference in the mount pedestals (Nailhead mounts are all the way forward on the block and the cross bolt ir vertical not horizontal). Thinking about it....
Look at a thread by Longboard about his X-Frame conversion....
