expert help needed (my first post)
I’m sorry, but I can’t read this thread any more as you keep asking and almost everyone replying is politely telling you to not do it as you WILL lose money on it and NO it is not a good flip.
Respectfully the whole 273 powered 67 notch back is not a good platform for a flip if this is your whole intension. Plan on owning this car for a very long ti e as they aren’t overly popular. Hence just build it the way to want to and do not place any expectations of re-sale or making a profit on it down the road.
Some of the best advise is:
- Stay Small Block - you already have everything you need
- Use what you have and just hone and re-ring, new bearing bandaid it back together.
- keep it cheap
Then just enjoy it as a cruiser while you perhaps look for a better candidate for the dream flip….
If you still do a 440 4 speed conversion. On this plan on spending about 25 Thousand dollars doing it including your interior and console up grades etc….. (in my eyes this probably low) putting you total investment at 40k plus. Then plan on losing 10-15 thousand dollars on it when you sell it. These cars are available done, and done well in your ‘dream’ configuration for 18-25 thousand dollars.
Good luck!
