[QUOTE="Litemup86, post: 7048775, member: 62332"] That's a tough list, but I can bullet point the main items... Car: $1,700 in 2001 or so. Motor: $2,500 complete motor, down to injectors. A friend built it, and made 322hp to the wheels before wanting to switch to a '03 cobra motor. I was already saving to buy a short block, so that got the job done. 5 Lug conversion: $120 at a junk yard for a spindle-out setup off a '95 GT. Used everything down to the same brake pads. Had to get new brake lines, $30, two 5 lug axles out of a ranger at the junk yard, $30, and two ranger drums, $30 or so. Wheels: I'm a fan of later factory wheels on older cars. Bought these with tires for $400. Since then have had to upgrade to Mickey Thompson drag radials and new NT555 fronts (also bought off a friend with about 1,000 miles on them). Incon Twin turbo kit - complete kit for $1,750 at Fun Ford Weekend Orlando. Sold shaved Edelbrock Performer RPM heads and bought used Trick Flow Twisted Wedge out of box to lower compression. Was even swap. Went back to factory cam for lobe seperation. AJE Tubular K-Member - Fun Ford Weekend $250. Garage Paint Job by friend - $500 in materials and basic labor. Needs to be re-done. Only bad investment of the car. Incon grenaded T-5. Paid $2,090 for complete TKO-600 setup at Bradenton this year. Now waiting for rearend to go, ha ha. With your other bs, I bet I have under $10k into this car. It went 11.60 with my previous single kit and is quite a bit faster right now. Was planning on getting some track runs in this week, but I'm in a tropical storm right now. I have no doubt this car will see 10.90's in current trim. Gotta love a 2nd hand project. [/QUOTE]
