    Sounds like a hell of a plan to me. Maybe a 4 wheel disc conversion to stop all that Horse power..

    you're prolly gonna get different answers from different people. some people already have their desired drivetrain setup and would want to build the suspension with some other misc stuff, others might need to build the drivetrain first, then there's body to consider, and even interior.....

    needless to say that you'll find that you need to focus on what is most important to YOU as to where your project will go. keep us posted :Handshake

    The mav is gone but i'm still here!
    Pair of precision 6562 turbos with intercooler $2,500. Boost friendly carb $500. 351W stock engine just with forged pistons $1000. But then that leaves no money for the transmission/rear end,etc :D yeah if i had an extra 4K for an engine it would just end up costing me more in the end. Lol

    Spend it wisely..If you put a 347 in, what about the rear end? How long will that last? Ford Racing has some decently priced crate engines, on the outside, a 302 & a 347 look the same.

    Now that you have some cash for your car... Spend it where the car "needs" it. You can do the frivolous stuff after the necessary things are taken care of.
