Why the T peddles considering all the other modifications to use the Chevy engine?

They appear to be on the same shaft and just for ‘looks’. The hot rod also has an upside down steering wheel. …..

Thanks all, it's in a speedster project that belong to a local family. They don't know much about it, it will be for sale if anyone is interested in it. It does have a ruckstell.

If you have them, can you post a photo of how the front of the engine was mounted and a shot of the other side of the engine? I have seen posts about transplanting the Chevrolet block onto the T pan and using the T hogs head, flywheel, transmission etc. Neat setup!
I know the voices aren't real but damn they have some good ideas! :shock:

I'm not sure I care for the seat too much,if that is what comes with it, looks too hard, would make me too tempted to look at my phone, and my legs might fall asleep, BUT on the other hand if it is really fast and you get scared then I guess "it" will have somewhere to go on the way out of ya!!!
