Luckily I payed about 600 for it, so I payed for the engine and that's about it lol... I'd love to transfer the engine over to a roller, but I lack any equipment to do so with, I basically need a car that runs, I knew that this thing probably wouldn't be the best thing, but I wanted a mustang and I'm looking into getting a job at a dealership repair shop, I was already planning on saving up most of the money for buying parts, but if it would be faster and cheaper to get a roller and just transfer the engine (which besides the low idle and the lack of tuning is great) then I'll save up for that. But as far as where to start, I need it to be able to make a 15-20 mile drive every day till I can get a roller. After seeing what you guys have said, I realize my mistake, but I have to work with what I got. And unless one of you guys is in the market for a beat up parts car that means I have to work with relatively small amounts of money. Thank you guys for your responses, you guys have been a lot of help so far with letting me know where I'm at.
