Hey guys I've been a member of this forum for a while but this is my first post(LOL). This forum was helpful throughout my entire build and decision making process, I thank you all. We have been working on it for 2 years now. It was originally my neighbor's car, she was the first owner and she droved it till the day it died. When I bought it and revived it. I took it to a local shop (a story for another time) and had the motor rebuild, drove it around for a month or 2 then we noticed the head gasket was blowing oil from the side. Oil will blow though the cap and well, you get the picture. So it was then we decided to evaluate the entire process...What's our horse power goal, what budget, what engine? When parts start coming off, there is really no end to it. The rest is my story...
