The most ridiculous aspect to this situation, to anyone with common sense, (just dumped 90% of the UTG viewers) is that if you are truly trying to hot rod on a budget, you can go to most any salvage yard, buy a running 5.9 magnum for 300-400 dollars, with a 90 day warranty, slap a china air gap intake on it, some used Holley carb and a set of ground hugging shitstyle headers, and make 300hp without even a cam swap. Its caveman easy, and cheap.

this. so much this.

as soon as machine work enters the chat you can throw away any idea of "budget build" or "back yard hot rod". anything more than maybe skimming a set of heads any trip to the machinist is dollars.

hit a swap meet, buy a used intake and carb for $150 throw down for a summit cheapy cam kit and you'd be in high cotton on a beer budget.

it's the whole: just because you can, doesn't mean you should.
