Swap gets shut down!!!

well, asked my dad about the 350 swap today and he shut me down. lol, he's an old car fanatic. this is what he said. "if you are gonna restore a car and swap engines, you're gonna do it right, and well, you don't have the money to do it right." so i guess its back to the drawing board!

I dont know who locked this, but I assume it was considered non-tech. If you wanna lock it again, please leave your name and a reason.

10K is plenty. Look on ebay or www.autotrader.com and check out the years/mileage/prices.
