what kind of cable winch should I use?

That reminds me of when I was a young man and really wanted to buy a Road Runner (even an RB engine would have been fine with me), but I could never afford one for the same reasons that you can't.

I thought, "Gee, I think I'll build my own Mopar muscle car and do it cheaply, on a pay-as-you-go basis!"

I bought an early-series Valiant (Toad) and did a resto-mod with a hot LA engine, 727, 8-3/4" posi and big-car suspension.

I found out that: (1) it's not so easy to build your own one-off car; (2) why auto suspension engineers get paid so much money; and (3) that you can't mix-n-match suspension components from different cars. (Can you say "squirrelly"?) It took me a long time to figure out how to make it handle correctly. Until then, it was quite a handful.
