got a new toy

Sold the formula 350 to my brother and yesterday I picked up an altered roadster. It has a 12bolt with spool and 4.56 gears,wheelie bars,parachute,powerglide, and has front mounts for a big block chevy. It use to have a blown alky big block so it should make a good bracket car if I put a mild big block in it. I only paid $1500 for the car so if I can find a deal on an engine and trailer think I can be running in the tens for $6000.

If you put a decent big block in it you should be running at least in the nines, most likely eights. These cars are light so try to stay with that trend. This is where alot of aluminum can go along way on your motor.
