For that kind of money I'd have one heck of a Drag Car

I got a deal on my motor so that aside I'll probably have $500-1000 invested that you wouldn't have spent on building up a an LT or LS car. But $ for $ you can build an SBC and BBC for about the same price.
I think the main thing people fail to realize is that when putting a stonger motor in a 4th Gen Camaro wheter it be SBC or BBC is you still have to upgrade the trans, rearend, suspension, etc. Most of the thinks I"ve changed out I would have changed if I'd a built my LT-1 up. Probably the only extra cost I've incurred so far would be the gauges.

I think someone has a decimal point out of place!!!! At least I hope. I would hate to think I had $180K in this thing and now about to only get $35K!!! OMG!!
Yesterday, I saw a house listed for $91,000,000!!!!!!!!

It wasn't that diificult. I made my mounts on the K-member while the motor was on the engine stand. Then I put the motor in thru the bottom. I did my cutting of the cowl after I had everything in place.

This guy is from canada. He probably screwed up on the money conversion. It must only be 18k or he got ripped off. For 180 he could have a hell of a nice Ferrari.
