Cool car, probably even worth the money just for the parts. Look like he's even including extra rearends with posi. But, still needs A LOT of work to be right.
I'm sure that it wouldn't take much to hook up the MEGA SQUIRT.
That's what I'm thinking -- probably worth that much in parts, plus it'd be easy to MS. I wonder how much it would take to finish the conversion to a 5 speed.
You could probably buy a GOOD used one for under $250. Some guys just upgrade their stock 5.0 transmissions in leiu of a performance upgrade. I've seen them cheaper than that periodically.
