Will this work? Sensors, tranny, etc..
I found a guy who loves to do mods. He said if I get the motor, he'll do the work free; simply spread the word about him. Is it going to cost a lot in conversions? I need to do something. I threw a rod racing at 120. frown.gif I miss my car reaallll bad.
If this won't work, does anybody know where to find a cheap motor or rebuild kit?
Thanks, peace out

my best advice is to just be patient and wait until you have more money to play with. even with the cheapest power option, 2k is really cutting it close. Not only that, once you get more power in the car, there are more things that will require maintenance, or will become more likely to break. the car will become expensive to maintain.
So just wait until you have a steady job and could afford to replace worn wheel bearing, or a broken axle, or a cracked radiator....etc all these random things will come up when you build your motor, or swap one out completely. good luck and be safe, dont go three digits on the freeway anymore.
