10's on $5,000 ?

I know 11.49 needs a cage. That means I can go 10.99 once. lol. Seriously, I'm going to eat this elephant one step at a time. Too many unknowns… namely the deals I may find or come across. I mean, somebody in a bind might sell me a 500 hp 408 stroker for 2000, and that would change everything. But I'm not putting the carriage in a different county than the horse, so one step at a time. We'll put an approximately 300 - 325 hp small block in it and get the truck to work with that, and start to get things sorted out. Obviously, the small block will have nothing to do with the budget.
