318 v 360

Befor this car turns into a dream with an inch of dust, just get the car back on the RD. Very few kids that are going to school have the mentality to handle such a larg project as well as complete school with good grades.

Buy a running 360 and drop it in, don't start monkieing around with the engine, or tranny or diff. Drop it in and drive it and enjoy it while you are in school.

If you do this, this car will give you plenty of things to tinker with such as Tune ups, and Ignition upgrades, Body work, Interior work, etc etc.

and while you are going to school and driving this car, and tinkering around with the things that you need to tinker with, save up and buy bigger parts that would be needed for your build...Cam, Intake, Carb, headers, Distrubuter, Rad

Most of these parts you can bolt on as you are currently driving it. If you run out of money...You still have a driver instead of a pile of parts in your driveway thatyour mom wants you to do something with.

And if you are really ambitious, save up and get all the HP parts you need for your build....but don't take it apart till you have all the parts.

These projects can be discouraging in the best of times, but to a student with no money and colledge tuition its even harder.

after all, after you graduate and get that dream job, you have a car that has been there for you the whole time, and then you can take it off the RD and pamper it with all the goodies you want.
