so i have 7k to play with...
i want to:
-331 stroker
-t-5 swap
-5-lug swap
-white bullitt's

what do you guys think about the bullitt's... white notch, white rims...
also... will i have any fitment issues with 17x9's up front... and can i fit the 17x10.5's in the back?

also need subframe connectors, possible torque box reinforcement..

i know it'll be a tight budget.. but you guys think it can be done?
this car will remain on dd duty...

Personal i wouldn't due a T-5 swap. Yes its cheap but i have a feeling your transmission isn't gonna last if you go that route so i would throw a 5 speed from a 99 - 04 gt or a 6 speed from a wrecked cobra.

why go 351? put off the engine for a few months and build a 408...

id swap it to a 5 speed first and do your 5 lug swap...those are my plans any way.
