Hello, my name is Erik.

I live in Alaska and I am new to BrickBoard.

My father had a 544 back in the '60s that he used to race, and use for daily transportation.

We have built several other vehicles (race cars, street rods, and a "sleeper" or two).

I have posted in the V8 section, as I already have a Rover V8, and a small case 700R4.

I'm interested in dimensions of the engine bay, as I would rather keep as much of that sheetmetal (inner fenders, mid & upper firewall, core support bulkhead and of course the hood) intact as I am able.

The floors in the 544 candidates I'm considering are shot, so the trans tunnel and lower firewall aren't as big a concern to "save" as I will likely have to replace part or all of them anyway.

I'm not looking to build a barn burner, just something that's quick, will handle and is vintage in appearance.

I think a Volvo similar in appearance to what dad used to race would be ideal. :)
