If you are going to spend all that right off the bat, I would look into getting a 2003-2004 Cobra as your starting point. A lot of things are better right from the beginning, especially the motor and its potential.

Yea i thought about a cobra. But no at first i will do the interoir and exterior for looks to get my garage and my name out there. That will cost verry little to none for me. You have to understand where i live, my house note is not but 300, and thats paying 50 over. I dont want to be known for just mini trucks, and those silly little handas or what ever you call those loud anoying 4cly cars that get great gas milige...little bastards! so... no i will not be doing all the parts at the same time, im just trying to get a plan together, as i do with all my projects.

Well, then add some upper and lower control arms to the suspension goodies, they will help you get power to the ground. As for the power, you're going to need a fully built motor (all internals) and might as well add some better flowing heads and a custom ground cam for whatever power adder you use. A turbo setup would get you some great gains, but are pretty expensive. You're also going to need to beef up the rest of the drivetrain (transmission and rear end). I would suggest at least a 31 spline T-lock and axles.
Whatever route you go, you will have your work cut out for you.

great now as for the internals ill have to do some research because as of right now i wouldent even know where to go to get them other that jegs and summit. hmmm just thought... ive never built a fuel injected motor or an over head cam before, just a few sbc350's and bbc 454's
