$400 dollars: what to do with it?

yelowjaket · 03-24-2003, 11:17 PM

Hey guys, i just got my federal tax return check in the mail. 403.18 thank you very much

. Well altogether i have about 3900 in the bank which is what i'm going to spend on building a new 302 with a bit of "High" performance to it

. Now what i was wondering is....would you guys spend the 400 on 3.73's for the good ole 8.8 in. rearend? or save it to buy parts for the new engine? Oh and 3900 is WITH the 400 so if i use it i'll only have 3500. Also is 3500 enought to get all the parts to put together a complete engine? or would i need significantly more ya think?

GEARS!!!. Fo sho get gears. Best bang for the buck mod ever

You should be able to build a nice motor for $3500

No doubt about it, get the gears! As Josh said, that is probably the best bang for your buck upgrade you can make.
