Bummed out

Lots of things are hard on a budget.... but your gonna want something nice for this car. Building a 5.7 stroker and saving for a 6.1 is gonna be expensive! The best thing I can say is is take the time to build what you want and how you want it one time.

If you want to go the 5.7 route I have a already machined block with arp main and head studs pm me and we can talk.
