Advantages of a stroker for daily driver

The best advise I can give you is to scour your local craigslist ads every day. I have a search feature on my Android phone that alerts me whenever someone in my area posts anything Mopar, 340, 360 etc for sale.

There is a rebuilt 360/727 local to me that has less than 3000 miles on it for $600. Deals like this are out there, but you have to look for them. Buy some Shoemaker mounts, a bigger radiator, change the drive shaft, there you have it. A V8 car that is fun and you can build on.

Saving up for big expensive pieces at your age may kill the thrill of the project and you'll move on to something else by summer. I have teenagers...
