Brewer's swap vs Sourcing Parts

I was pretty lucky but you can find anything mopar that weekend at carlisle
I found all this stuff, all from different vendors
was not too thrilled about putting a used clutch in it but I am on a real LOW budget!
Got lucky with that - cleaned it up and works fine
I'm not going racing, this is just a stock street 383 motor

trans with linkage $300 unknown condition, couldn't open it up till I got home
lakewood bell $250
Flywheel $ 125 had some grooves in it but cleaned up OK
3 finger p plate $75 used with surface rust but cleaned up OK
clutch disc $50 used
pedal assy $75
throwout bearing from auto parts store $40
I saw a box of misc z-bar and linkage parts in someones junk box an he let me have the whole thing for $50
had to have the flywheel cut and other misc hardware - trans mount
cut hole in floor and get the speedometer to work right
a fair amount of work but was worth it!
