Thanks for the input guys.
Reading more and more, I think a realistic goal without going all out on a 400, would be 400/400....to the wheels. Budget? Well, we all know how "budgets" go....but I think for starters it would be around 5k, including a roller and an engine/trans. Going halves on a car makes it easier to have fun, and this is one of my boys, so we'll see....he's pretty excited about it. I believe as long as we set down rules and guidelines when we're done it will be really cool to go race it together.
Now one thing, 5k for a roller and engine/trans and some of you may be thinking "holy ****, youre doomed." now that may be possible, but were talking a 1,000 dollar shell, regardless of condition (as long as it is not destroyed or looks like complete swiss cheese) and most likely a 400 off of craigslist. Still don't know what kind of trans will fit this job the best?
69goatboy, if you find out who did that, please let me know! That would be some awesome insight.
