Is definitely an unusual engine choice for a hotrod build. Most people over here would immediately go for a Rover V8 or a Ford V6. I've never seen a Holbay in one before. TBH if I were to buy it I would put a V8 in it, chrome the rocker covers and put stainless headers on it, just for the eye candy value. It's hard to make any 4 pot look sexy in a hotrod.

Only other change would be smaller wheels on the front.
