I was talking to a few well known local engine builders and rebuid will range up to about 1500 depending on upgrades. Transmission work will be more like 600.-800 range
A local builde recommends I buy a 360 magnum engine that he built for $2200 and a 4 speed overdrive non computerized non lockup transmission for $1300. Reasoning that I might as well spend a little more for a more efficiant and stronger setup There would be other costs like radiator and such I'm sure. But he said it would be a fair amount more efficient etc.
But what are some opinions on best route to take?
I want to do some serious traveling and originally just wanted to rock it all original and take it easy, but this has me thinking....
