My car got 3:55's weld in subframes, Front and rear springs, i was thinking just get my stalker front bumper,new gt rear to do away with the gay pipes coming out of them, torque thrust 2's 16x8's, having it all repainted, doing a k-member n coil overs, and just boring my 302 out .30 over and putting probe forged pistons in, and converting over to carbed with a 100 shot for right now, but im scared to have the car painted then do engine swaps i dont wanna mess the paint up once its done, i really dont want a caged car, i know after 11.99's at the track you gotta have one but id race it on the street more than track.... i know having good stuff takes time but i hate waiting lol i was gonna do the 5lug swap and mooser's axles too

i wish i could find a good built motor someone ran and went bigger and got a deal like that, but hard to find, i screwed up when i built my 85 z38, i had a built 350 in it, then i had a 383 built to go in its place i had a complete shortblock all it needed was heads in take and carb to finish, i had $3,000 in it and got tired of the car and ended up selling the 383 for $1500 to a guy in wv for in a nova, wish i still had the motor i woulda dumped it into my fox.. lol

Why not buy a nice used blower setup for it for now??? I see LOTS of good deals on the on the Corral ALL the time!
You got gears, put a blower on it with a good intake and get some good exahust on there and you'd be suprised!

lol, i should just sell both my stangs and buy one built one...but hard to find people with money to buy cars anymore, i just seen a green hatch like mine with 10,000 less miles on with gray interor go for $7000 on ebay, and im having a hard time getting $5,000..

Patience.. You GOT to have patience with this hobby.. I buy and sell cars all the time and parts.. If your in a hurry, chances are your gonna lose! But, if you take your time, look around, and try all your avenues as far as selling, you'll do ok.. If money burns a hole in your pocket, open a CD at the bank, like a 9 month one. That way you cant touch it till fall, and youll gain interest on it, or just open a seperate savings for your car money and use it when you find a good deal on something.... Just TEACH yourself to not be in a hurry all the time!

Yea true, but i dont deal with banks lol, i deal in all cash, i got no checking account and no credit cards...another thought i had instead of doing redoign the 302, just boring my 351w out .30 over n gettings set of heads n intake for it, i dunno so many ideas.. so many choices

Taking the time to think through these decisions saves money too. There's no sense in buying a 393 or a 347 if you can't afford all the accesories required. What kind of miles on on your existing motor?

around 120,000, but when i had the topend and cam swap done i checked the pistons they didnt have slop and it doesnt smoke at all
