Looking for advice. Want to build a Duster to run on a budget.

back then? it was 4 years ago. and I got a 360 with a transmission for $250 this year as well. the trans dapt mounts are still $90.00.
Dusters have doubled in value since then, you could get a good duster for under ten k around 2020. No chance now. Chances of getting a v8 for 200 thats not cooked is very slim
