I was thinking about something, If ya HAVE to go out in public with a chevy, ya gotta hide that fact some how!! Or its like tellin your buds about kissin your first cousin!!!
To answer your first post, my car was a dedicated race car that had been back halved and gutted. I actually saved it from its death bed, in a field in eastern north carolina. Im on a budget and with a goal in mind. I want to go fast, as cheap as possible ( dont we all). Anyways, building a Chevy LS engine is the cheapest for me. My powerplant is a 6.0L that i purchased off a 2005 Cadillac Escalade with 36k miles. I paid $1500 with transmission, wiring harnes, all accessories, starter, PCM... you get my point. If I would have found a hemi for that price, i would be building a hemi. But then again, if I would have found a 5.0 coyote, i would be building a ford engine. Anywho, back to your kissing my first cousin comment, if she's attractive and cheap I just realized i would kiss her, wouldnt I?
