What is your budget and goal?

This will be an interesting journey, however that Hollendar book will be very valuable!
The simply objective would be to approach as close to a 1G setup as possible while still being streetable. I'm thinking I would like to do the following:
- Tubular upper and lower control arms
- Rack-n-pinion setup (may require some fab work)
- Appropriate springs, shocks, sway bars
- Lowered rear leaf springs
- Enhancing the frame (making more stiff)
This is a start. No idea on budget. The motor I'd like to put in there is a 427 SBC with a 4L80E tranny going to a custom 9" rear end. We'll put Recaro seats in and have the stock gauge setup upgraded with no external gauge plus a few other things. Figuring about 3 years for the project.
