RustyRatRod's Guide To Hot Rod Bliss

i opted ( thanks to some folks on here) to try my luck on a Craigslist 360 instead of spending a small fortune on building a new motor. I was lucky i came across an honest guy and a great deal, And all the parts that came with it could be used on another engine ( if it did not work out)not to mention the motor stand i got with plus all those parts were worth what i paid for the whole deal.

Now it seems there are a million bad Craigslist stories to every one good story but that's not really the point. The point is exactly what rusty is getting at and that is you don't have to spend a fortune to get a good/solid and even fast motor/car. And you don't need a rear wheel 600HP that you built from the summit/jegs catalog IF your going to just drive it on the street 90% of the time.

And that there are good and bad deals out there and there is very good value in used/NOS or even OE parts but you HAVE to put in the time doing the research. Do yourself a favor by Making and sticking to a list of wants and needs for a particular build and informing yourself on those wants and needs for that build.If you are open minded and realistic the needs will outweigh the wants in the build and to be honest probably most aspects of life
