The last engine I got from pick-n-pull was a roller LA 360 on a half-off weekend a couple years ago. I got the long block for under $200 out the door and it was in great shape. I could've easily run it as-is with a cheap intake/carb and been well under $1500. I guess prices could've gone up in the last couple years though. But even for double what I paid, you've still got cash left over for an intake and carb.
The way it is written it sounds like you are asking how I would spend $1500 on my car, that just happens to have a 318. I think they call that a misplaced modifier.
Absolutely I do RRR. Look at Dad's 11.30 wagon. Pump gas, iron heads, quadrajet, iron intake, 3.31:1 gear. 4160 pounds. Quiet as heck. stock fan, all accessories running, pull to line, leave it in drive and mash it and let it rip!
prices are up about 25~35% more now, but you bring up a good point on bargain shopping the half-off days. however, magnum is gonna require magnum intake and cam which are more money new and slightly less prominent used. then motor mounts and flexplate/balancer figuring out along with accessoroies. but a good tactic!
I like that car a lot. You've shown it to me before. Do you still have it?
Stroke it
Meh, Pepsi beats coke anyday.
N&p go get your fill lol
Crack cocola
You're good Mike !!! that pic would have to be still in the store because back in my heyday they'd be nice looking empty bottles by the end of the night, all of them lol & boy am I glad I found out I'm allergic to jail after 20 + stays lol.
Yes, I do. My dart has been dead since 2006 . I will be reviving her very soon, so I know it will be a good relationship
What year of dart?
I can't say I have.
I'm convinced the best relationships in life are with a car. I have too many cars, I've never regretted buying any one car but I've had mental anguish when I've sold them.
