its probably going to be a couple GRAND, where you can get the motor for $300 and put the top end on that and just swap it.

I think I'll just get a SSM power pack, while I'm dealing with them I might ask them about this they must know it. Thanks tho!

mustangman I thought you sold your car...are you getting her back?
providing i have money for the IRS and dont go to jail for tax evasion yes, (******* boss told me i was getting XX an hour and taking taxes out, last friday he droped of my pay check with 2 checks (laid off) and a 1099... ****ing *****, but i think i should still be able to get her back before thanksgiving)

but yes i sold her to a friend and im hoping to get it back, it just sits between his 71 road runner (original 440 car) and a 76 kenworth road tractor thats restored with a bunch of chrome, he usually just drives it to get beer

You sure will, best to do it right the first time, unless you like replacing parts or rebuilding motors all the time.

Well I'm not messing with something I have no clue about. I'll just get a SSM pack and thats it. I get everything I need, put it on, do a dynotune and thats enough for me. I think that should give me close to 200HP, and thats what i want...for now!
