Well, you can if you like, but I guarantee you that you won't see your car running again for many many months.

Why? Torque scares you??


As far as what to spend your 10-12k on it depends on what your skills are, what kind of tools/shop you have or if you'll be farming the work out. If you're going to be farming it out then keep it simple. If you're one hell of a fabricator, and knowledgable then maybe attempt something like a LS1 or 20B swap not saying that you'll complete either off of that cash as it depends on so many variables. But if done with patience and not farmed out you could come close.

I just want the car to be an occcasional track car scca and 1/4 mile mainly a around town car that can hold it own when those rich kids with z06's pull up next to me with there hot girl friends and i wax the **** out of them! this is not my daily driver but a car for the weekends I have a civic for my daily driver.
If the rich kids with their GFs bother you... Put the money down on a house and become a rich kid yourself instead of wasting ten grand on a 10+ YO car.
