'73 Swinger - turbo SB, EFI, Overdrive...on the cheap! :)

Nice. Stick with it, man. I've been following your build for a while. I love hybrid hotrods. When going fast is the goal, all that matters is who crosses the finish line first.

Get that Swinger as light as possible and dial the suspension in. Make that $$$. Then you can fund your other projects. That 73' has lots of room to grow.
Yeah, that's the thing, in order to be even remotely competitive in my area, I'd need to weigh like 2700lbs and make like 1200hp. I've had gutted tin can cars before, and while they're fun, as I get older a soft and quiet car that's still decently quick is more and more appealing. I think getting a quiet exhaust on it will convince me to keep it a cruiser.
