A few more parts...

 Well, after moving the Crown Vic front suspension and the Dodge Van rear into the barn, we still needed an engine and a transmission.  On Saturday we trucked over to Hanover PA to pick up a Chevy 350 engine and 350 TH transmission that used to live in a 1976 Chevy Malibu.  It was being prepped for next years demolition derby season.  I hope it finds a less jarring life in our Grocery Getter. 

What I learned today - cast iron engines are very heavy so keep an eye on your toes and fingers.

We are looking for a Edelbrock four barrel to sit on top of the aluminum intake.  This engine should fit nicely mounted behind the from cross member with enough clearance between the cart frame to add a nice set of headers.  Trying to keep the budget reasonable for a project like this is always a challenge.  Each detail seems to cost just a little bit more than I expected.

Next on the cart agenda - cleaning up the engine and buying some 2" tube.
