Why dont you sell the Sandman and buy a good HQ shell. Then you are not limited in what you want to do. A crate 540 BB from the states turns up on a pallet... instant manic.

Awesome to see those wheels fit in so easy, did you take it for a drive?
How much space is there on the inside
Might want to look at getting anLS1 with 6speed (Complete car) would drive great
About 15mm clearance from spring and inner guardOriginally Posted by 0488TINTER
Didn't take it for drive but would of been ok because that van has had the lip on the guard folded up against the inner guard and the travel distance to the stop would been about the same as the travel distance to the tyre maybe the stop would have to lowered 10 to 20 mm for safety[COLOR="Silver"]

My thoughts would be along the lines of improving on original. Find a late model fuel injected 5.7 holden v8 and a tremec or whatever is good manual box.

What about envy for a name? Might already be used I suppose?
Rod, I reckon restore the body to as per original, in original colour - don't stuff with it. Leave it DL7 to make it look cleaner.
THEN fit either a GenIV 6.0L and 4L65E box (don't bother with 6spd manual, too much butchering of the body). The standard TH400 shifter will operate the box and no tunnel mods are required. Even go to the trouuble of fitting a Black's Racks steering rack conversion so you can run all the GenIV accessories including A/C compressor in the original spot.
Go silly on the inside, do whatever you choose. Even just make it Caprice if that is what you want.
Fat rubber looks cool, but I would get rims that allow the tyres to sit inside the gaurds. You'd have rubbing problems with the way they sit on the yellow one with suspension travel.

or reading this from wilky on Sandman comics, there are some cool ones in there
This is a list of characters appearing in The Sandman comic book, published by DC Comics' Vertigo imprint. This page discusses not only events which occur in The Sandman (1989–1994), but also some occurring in spinoffs of The Sandman (such as The Dreaming (1996–2001) and Lucifer (1999–2007)) and in earlier stories that The Sandman was based on. These stories occur in the DC Universe, but are generally tangential to the mainstream DC stories.

i like dreams and nightmares
triple threat, until you get another one, ls1 or 304 stroker-355, twin turbo, 15's, original looking inside and outside besides rims, then some fun under bonnet, mad sleeper, i want to put a 355+5spd in my sedan, if i get bored or rich then a pair of snails to liven her up a touch
It's long name but how about "Third times a charm" being green you could give it an Irish/Shamrock/Leprechaun theme.
