okay, i will finish up my suspension(new spindle and front end rebuild). i will then purchase my new exhaust(dynomax shortie headers, dual aerochambers). after that i will have "minor" body work done(fix massive dentage on ft. pass. fender, rear rollpan welded/painted in, and shaved mirrors and drip rails)
all of that while saving up money in my checking account so that towards the end of summer i can purchase an new engine. it wont be a crate engine or anything, because i cant afford that, but it'll be a cheap 350 or 400(if i can find one). i'm looking at spending around $1000 or less. i know i should be able to find a decent 350 locally for less than that. depending on what i find, i may add a cam, intake, carb, rockers, lifters, etc... etc... etc...
if for some reason i do not get an engine, then i will be having a lot more body work done
which would include new burb. front end, shaved door handles, tailgate, taillights(relocated to rollpan) and emblems.
i would much rather have the engine though
