11.5's

it's not a budget issue as much as it is a time issue

i wanna have it done by mid-summer, should be able to start it around feb/march, and pull in about $700 a month. Starting around may i'll be pulling atleast $1400 a month but we'll leave it at 7 & assume i don't work any overtime

so i guess around $3,500, which means i'll need to go with ported factory heads.

BJR gave me a list of stuff to get, like an m-1 intake, holley 750 cfm with mods, cam & lifters (mopar .528 cam and lifters, but i'll probably end up going with like a 5.01 so it's more streetable), headers, and which factory heads to get (1.88/1.60 valve heads 71-76 versions 915s or 587)

intake is about 2, carb with mods will prolly be around 6, cam & lifters'll be about 2, headers will prolly be about 5, so that's $1300. Factor in a new ignition, water pump, and electric fan (which i might have atleast 2 of before i even start it) and that's about $600, so $1900 total. For the block, heads & crank (though can't i use the 318 crank i have?) used i figure about a grand, so $2900, head work i called on & it's $500 to have the bowls cleaned up & have it gasket-matched, so that sets me at $3400, and the rebuild kit on the engine with the pistons & such should be about $300, pulling up a grand total of $3800 which leaves me, worst case scenario, $300 over. I also have a friend who works at a local parts store & can get atleast 20% discounts on stuff, which would save me about $200 for a total of $100 over what i wanted to spend, worst case scenario. Not bad at all
