If I can convince the fiance, I may very well use part of my tax return to resurrect the stang. Yes, I'm getting way too much back, I already fixed that problem Here is the combo I put together with a budget.
Any parts that are easy to upgrade and I already have, I'm re-using. I'm re-using the GT-40 tubular intake, stock maf, 1-5/8 bbk shorties, o/r h-pipe, flows, stock radiator, stock pullies, stock everything else.
For now, I want to get the motor in a healthy running condition, with no real emphasis on optimum power. I DO want to get the long block exactly how I want it so I don't have to dig into it after the fact.
Keeping in mind, the long block parts are not going to change, how else can I save some dough here?? I estemated $200 in miscellaneous, unexpected stuff, is that too high? I want to get a realistic budget to under $3,000. That goal is there to give me enough leftover from my tax return to pay down the stupid credit card.
Minus unnecessary things like header wrap, re-use fox valve covers, cheaper ford racing lifters makes the total about $3102. I can't think of what else could be cheapened.
All the prices were from Summit. Maybe someone else is cheaper?
Thanks for the help!!
