New Here, New to Classic Cars

[scott_fx]

Hey guys,

I just want to say hi and introduce myself. I'm currently on the hunt for a '66 chevelle (think i've found 'the one'... just working out price and delivery right now).

My plans include an lsx swap (budget 5.3 or 6.0), it already has 4 wheel disc and brand new suspension (in line with stage 1 type kits). I want to make it a pro/grand-touring build. with comfort paramount but the power and handling to back it up. I also have plans to develop some gadgets for the interior to bring it into the 21st century. I'm currently designing and coding up my lcd gauge panel. I will also have a central 'knob' to control most functions with minimizing the time you spend taking your time off the road.


Other then that, been doing a lot of reading on the forums and finding out what is possible with these beasts!

edit:
one question i have. the owner has a rebuilt engine in the car (HO 327 (0hrs)roller rockers,882 heads, T-5 5 speed). He is trying to sell it to a buddy, but if he can't i'm still going to take the car. I was wondering how much an engine/trans like this is worth? (i tried to post it in the 'what's it worth forum, but don't have permissions to post there yet). Reason i ask, i wonder if it's worth it for me to buy the car with the engine and sell it on my own, or if it's better to buy it w/o the engine)

Thanks
