Dart big block shortblock so I can do a twin turbo 555 and run 8’s on pump gas… 10K should cover most of the motor and then some 🙂 and yes 10K will get you a decent long block if you build a chevy ---

> [@cougarspeed](#): > > Money is relative man. You think people buying 10-20k longblocks are changing their lifestyle any more then avg joe trying to get some coilovers or whatever? No waiiiiiii Not about that…I’m just not interested in spending 10k on a motor (or any other single item) for a project. I like building cars, but I still don’t forsee myself ever spending that much on 1 item. MAYBE body work if I’m restoring something vintage, that’s definitely the exception to that. If my life gets to the point where that amount of money is a bit easier to come by, I’ll be driving a super baller sports car/exotic/whatever… ---

I think it’s awesome that people have such different opinions of what they’d want. So far the groupings seem to be: - driving adventure - racing practice - shop and/or tools - go fast stuff! It’s not a surprise at all as to who is falling into these groups either. ---
