Could you V8 guys give me an idea as to how much it would cost to add a basic V8 conversion to my '72..... Idea with it installed and for me to install. I have been thinking about this for a winter project. I do have a 350 sitting in the garage that runs or ran great. I have this itch to buy a corvette and I want it to go away!

Its realy hard to say, it depends on your level of cheapness and recourcefullness.
I am really thrifty, here are some pics of my V8 car when it first got it together. I had $4200.00 into it, including the price of the car, junkyard engine, radiator, interior, paint, tires. It was fine, just not refined.
