Jerry what kind of motor did you put in that thing? So you didn't have to lenghthen or shorten the frame in anyway before you bolted the body to it? How much are you asking for the brat? I tried to enlarge your pic but it wouldn't let me. Thanks.

Does anyone know if this has ever been done to a subaru before? How would you recommend going about lengthening the samari frame? I was thinking that maybe a frame from a 4x4 Toyota, an s10 pu, or a jeep wrangler would be more readily accessible than a samari; but I'll have to do some looking around. You might be right about the samari being closest to matching the spec dementions of the undercarrage of a Brat. If only someone could tell me if a 350 would fit and the best route for a transmission hookup.

I'm contemplating dropping a brat body onto a toyota pickup frame and then putting a 350 chevy engine in it. Does anybody have any suggestions or thoughts on this. I've talked to a few people and they're not sure about a 350 fitting under a brat hood, but I've measured a toyota pu and the hood size matched. Have a friend who has a 350 in his toyota; he had to put the radiator in his bed but it worked. I'm wanting a pulling/snow/rockcrawler that will have very eccentric looks. My question is - will the 350 actually physically fit in this specifications? Any professional advice would be appreciated.
