A Corvair Monza convertible, with a 327cid/350hp Chevy small block where the back seat used to be. At 120 mph, steering was non-existent. We wound up moving the battery, and an additional 200 lbs of lead into the front end to keep the nose down at speed.

Did the same thing with the VW Beatle that got the Corvair motor.

G-d, how did I manage survive my teenage years?!?
