My first muscle car build thread (lots of pics)

Well since this motor has unknown mileage on it, my guesstimation would be about 230k I have decided to build my other low mileage 318. Its a 80s pre roller motor. The plan is build this thing for as cheap as i possibly can.

new rings, bearings, gaskets, oil pump. the 318 I'm building has a almost new double roller timing chain i will re use. I think the 340 cam is still good so i will re use that. I have the LD4B and a torker 2 manifold to choose from. I will also re use my headers and 600 cfm carb.

I calculated all the costs and it will be about $325 for parts, break in lube, oil, ect. everything to get it running. I have $100 towards it so far! :cheers:

I also entered a cam giveaway lunati is doing! maybe ill win a new cam? they didn't have any turbo grinds though so i went with something suited for a mild engine.

I think i will also take this opportunity to install the 4 speed with the engine. All i should need to do that is new fluids and the clutch surfaced. so maybe 50-100 bucks? hopefully i can sell my automatic to cover those costs.

I should really install a newer style starter while I'm at it as well!!

Still don't have a god damn job!!!!!!!!! :banghead: :banghead::banghead: :banghead: I have an interview thursday though wish me luck!

sorry i don't have any good news to post up. I just need some reliable income and i will be able to do more. just doing the best i can with what i have.(or don't have..)
