30k won't even get you close to being done....Give me a built, stroked and blown 69 SS ANYDAY!!!!!! Like everyone said, get an older one if you really want to go old skool custom and you will eat all the newer cars to **** as long as you know how to drive //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif
If you include trading hours and/or bartering for USED stuff,you ''might'' get under or close to 30k,but with stroked and blown in same sentence,hell thats over 10k right there using sbc,let alone use bbc or ls series,another what 3-4k in supporting mods,(rear,trans,suspension,etc,) and have not even included the cost of the car yet...LOL it depends what kind of skills you got //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif Honestly I think its sad to see some people try to get into custom cars without any skills on building one THEMSELVES. The market out there eat those kind of people alive together with their wallets - Sad but true. Lets just say I am thankful my dad thought me how to remove and install carbs when I was around 10 //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif
Also, 30k can get ME an SS built, WELL under 30k infact cos its also WHO you know it the automotive world besides WHAT you know //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif
you dont sound like a retard, you sound like your a perfect fit for ca.com //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/suicide.gif.a649d21efc0d1fd4890a6428166586c1.gifI want a comaro but can't spend 30k dollhairs. I'm pretty good with the other cars and engines. Don't like the new computers and everything on the new cars. My question is, since they stopped making um in 02, I would get a 2010. Could I.buy a blown one, and put in a old 350 and just get it rebuily and put in a bigger cam, bore out the pistons, ext ect and just not have the computer for the engine and all? Ik I sound like a Retard but I don't know anything about the new cars....
Haha yep, I was thinking about used REPUTABLE stuff. One thing I learned from buying used is that you can buy a used Garret turbo or Kenne Belle SC that will run forever if properly maintained and save a ton of cash as well - the type of deals you run into also plays a MAJOR role and having the money at the right time!If you include trading hours and/or bartering for USED stuff,you ''might'' get under or close to 30k,but with stroked and blown in same sentence,hell thats over 10k right there using sbc,let alone use bbc or ls series,another what 3-4k in supporting mods,(rear,trans,suspension,etc,) and have not even included the cost of the car yet...
could not agree more,hell we take junkyard engines,change cam,leave rest alone,and spray them deep into the 11's (11.2-11.3 range)and yet to have one let go on us..Haha yep, I was thinking about used REPUTABLE stuff.

Maybe a V6.. least were im from you cant find a decent good condition 95- and up Camaro with a 5.7 Ls1 under 500098-02,with the 6spd,around $3800 + 150 shot,would walk all over any "streetable" old school sbc combo you can come up with..and be cheaper and way more reliable..
ever since new gen has came out,the prices have dropped significantly,out here there are plenty of camaro's (z28) ls1's for cheap...condition will vary of course..then again there are plenty of the 4th gen in the junkyards to pull parts from...hell there have been several SS model for sell in the 5-6k range....Maybe a V6.. least were im from you cant find a decent good condition 95- and up Camaro with a 5.7 Ls1 under 5000
