Just thought I would post up a quick picture of my newest project.
(IMG:http://i254.photobucket.com/albums/hh87/camaroz1985/914/PIC-0088.jpg) Its a '75 that I will be building for the $2009 Challenge. There is no engine now, and I am still trying to figure out what I will be using. I think about 200hp should be good enough if I can keep the weight down. I figure I have about $750 for engine and cooling system (or preferably a parts car that I can get everything from). What do you guys think? What are my best options? Who has cheap parts they want to sell to help the cause (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) I'll update this as I progress. |

Good idea with the front sway bar!! I was trying to figure out how I could fit one in with my budget (though there seem to be deals in the classified section sometimes).
With the Subie engine and trans I will probably have some extra money to mess with suspension stuff. I was trying to figure out if there was a away to convert the front to coils cheaply. Still running through some stuff in my head (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) |

Why not think about buying a VW Passat for it's 1.8t engine and transmission. (ya, the engine is mounted front to rear in the passat, not side to side.) They have lots of hop-up parts.
