Sanity check re engine swap options/planning

Yeah I did that starting in 1997; A 68 Barracuda from slant 904 to HO 360 4-gear FormulaS clone,etc. Plus a bit of bodywork and a repaint. By the time I was done in 99, I was into it for near $20,000Can, and it still needed seat-covers. And I did all the labor save body and paint, which I got a friend to do, and was in addition to the 20Gs. Plus I already owned the parts car and powertrain.
