If your going to go through with this FD LS1 idea, I'd buy one that has a good amount of modded parts. I got a lot more selling my mods than if I was to sell a bunch of stock parts. You should get at least $3k.

God knows its never too late to try, why not do so?
Anyway, why the hell are you even trying to play the income card to **** me off? The majority if my income is going to my family right now, because they need it, not because I WANT to live here, and on top of that Im still in college. Youve clearly graduated and are on your own, while Im going to college, AND helping keep a roof over the heads of whats left of my family.
If you want to leave an impression thats posititive instead of amusement, why not show a little character instead of a short temper and a superiority complex? Boo hoo, the college kid doesnt have a lot of disposable income.
Also, P.S., if you didnt run away sulking from TC youd know Im waiting on Grant to finish the 2.3 mounts, because Id rather have something professionally done than something I rigged, tac welded and then had a pro lay some beads for me. My primary goal is keeping it low budget, and its what Im doing.
But hey, keep spewing your crap and then say youre being so low-brow because you want to be sure I can understand it there buddy!
Also, how the hell did you know I had long arms?

Also, what are the differences between the engines, you say it would get better MPG (especially with a T-56)?
Yes, I've been the Hinson's site for the conversion and notice a lot of the LS1FD's or LS1 7's have Hinson parts.

Oh, and GOOD advice is usually limited by experience, not income. This is why people listen to Drewman and Jimlab. They have good advice to give if people would just shut their mouth. Unfortunately, this is the internet.
