Surprised how much $ are needed for accessories. :eek:
Just got Alum. Radiator, pulley set, urathene engine mounts, hooker pipes, sump, instruments set, alternator and mounting brackets. fuel pump, fuel filter and regulator.
Man there goes thousands already and the serious swap from SB to BB has not started yet :(
Still waiting on gearbox and clutch kit to arrive from US. Then comes the disc brakes, 9" diff and exhaust.
Then buy the Crate engine :eek: :eek:
If the Missus finds out the true cost of this project I,m dead :p

Ha ha...

Yeah, I am replacing literally everything on my car, I just priced up the enginer stuff (mounts, new dual carbs, valve covers, billet pulley system etc etc), theres $5K just in this stuff....

I have a list and the scary part is the sum of what I need to buy is quickly heading north of $20K, and I have already bougt my engine.....

im with the other guys.. in regards to cost, dont bother counting.. in the end, everything will practically be rebuilt or new thats going in the car.. its cool though. The missus doesnt mind. Only problem is i have tooo many projects on hand..
