Gonna be another 3-4 months before the restoration on my car is done enough to get her back on the road, but I'd like to have a motor built in the mean time while I'm doing the work.
- I'd like to have a MILDLY built motor with atleast 300hp. My budget is $4k (parts + labor), but I have to have a running motor with that amount. I know a guy with a '67 289 and a '68 302 that need to be rebuilt for $200 each, but I'm not sure I could get the power I want within my budget. I've also thought about getting a 351w, but I am worried about space issues in the engine bay and I'd like to keep it stock looking. Anybody have something built similar to what I want for around $4k?
- This also brings me to what kind of tranny to hook up to it. Would it be worth rebuilding a stock c4, or buying a new one? Cj pony parts also has a t-5 kit online that I've been eyeing up... Thanks. - Tom
