What does it cost?

I agree 100% with you SNKEBIT. I look for deals all the time. The alum radiator i got was for a 73 to 76 A, it had the inlet and outlet in the correct location for the late model 360 i will be building. Mounting flanges, not so much. I made my own out of .125" 7475 T6 aluminum sheet, and riveted it together.

Cast crank 360, with new rods. 400 hp build is what i am going for. Car weighs under 3,000 lbs so it should fly. Still got to do more research on exactly what i want as far as cam, compression, etc. Got a nice set of bare speedmaster alum heads for a great price off evilbay. Also got a used edelbrock RPM intake manifold used for $75 off evilbay. Used 68 340 Hi perf exhaust manifolds cheap from another auction. They were snoozin, i won em. Nice aluminum oil filter adaptor off a 318 M body fury. $10 at the junky. Remanufactured denso hi torque mopar V8 truck starter $39 shipped off evilbay. No core charge. Theres lots lots more. Having a family to support means i do more scrounging for deals, and doing lots myself. Repurposing parts etc. I think the junkyard crawl for parts is a right of passage for a hot rodder. Modifying parts to suit, finding parts that will fit your application, etc thats the essence of true hot rodding, SNKEBITs resto thread is awesome in the way he mods, and makes what he needs, rather than just buy a car out of a catalog.
