Those numbers are about right, maybe even a bit optimisitc. Funny thing, a (stock) LS1 will do the same or better.

That is what i get in the GTP…pretty close #'s to a few 3.1’s I had in the past. In a 5 sp f-body I guess they could be better if you are babying it.

BTW, a couple of things:

How long would it take you to save another $600? It’s a small amount of money, but would increase your budget by 25%.

Also, if you are stuck at $2,400 you should be looking on CL for cars listed for $3-4k. Anything listed on there around $3 should sell easily for $2,400. Or if you can increase your budget to $3k look for cars listed for around $3,500-4,500. If you pay anybody their CL asking price you’re getting taken.

If you can save that $600 and shop a little above your actual budget things start looking a lot better:

(obviously nothing ‘fun’ about these cars… but practical and reliable out the ass).

This is the reason i will no longer sell on Craigslist.

Well the Jeep has been sold it went for $2600.00.

Here is the break down in total profit on the sale
Original purchase price: $500.00 (it was rear ended)
Repair price: $450.00
Had to replace the following parts: Entire cooling system, Exhaust, 4 tires and a windshield. total price $1400.00
Drove it for one year so Id say I made decent money.
