500 cubes

Got a 440 Dart put together for about $500 once. Ahh, the salad days. If you want everything new, then that costs. If you want a 440 A-body running, that's much less. I've gotten a '69 440 on Craigslist for free once. Just get one running, then build another motor as money comes. I do see that parts prices vary dramatically across the country. How much can you do yourself? Do you weld?
