If that means stuffing in a basic big block and a 4 speed until i can afford the cool drivetrain so be it.
4 speed girl is a classic example: she is out enjoying open track day with a 12 second, 4 speed, factory control arms, non glossy paint, etc, etc sweet Camaro, while the majority of us have have projects in the garage taking extra time because funds are short.

We used to be ok with acually going to the junk yard to find a 9" Ford and spending the afternoon at the local car wash irritating those in line behind us as we clean our new found treasure- anyways I'm rambling- this is NOT a rich man's sport anyone can play - do you remember "Project S-Curve" 15k build?-Chris
Great input Chris!! I can't tell you how many times I wished I would have just built the ''simple' car I started to build and not this higher tech car that just sits in the garage because I'm short on time/money to finish it...but I do belong to the ''I have all these cool parts'' club!!!

Ah what fun it would be to do some laps around PIR in a primered car today!!!
