Now, he spent $1500 in the 80's, with some expemsive parts, fordged, very expensive for the Mopars back in the 80's he he he.

You should be able to get away with a short block done for about $1500.

How much do you have to spend on this again. (Sorry to ask)

But I remember this being budget limited. It's not easy making power cheaply. Try milling 360 heads down and bolting on a intake with a big cam. Sound simple? It is to a degree.

Cal tracs, a high stall converter, wide (Semi ? ) slicks and 4.56's will get a stock teen launching like a pro. Wait, didn't someone say that???????

yea. 1500. cuz i have 0 right now. i have 4000 to restore the body of my dart sport but dad wont let me use any cash for the motor. i only need 1500$ work of body stuff. i heard 360 heads and an intake big cam were the way to go. but i have pretty much unlimited options. all comes down to $$. in all honesty idc what id have to spend on it. a new rear and gears plus 4 speed manual is gonna be 1200 or so. plus w/e is goin on the motor. ive decided on not gettin the crank for it. so itll be stock 318 cubes. find me some 360 heads and a high rise!! lol
