Thanks a bunch guys for the suggestions. The cougar I had is wrecked. Yeah, it was my fault so I'll just leave that alone. Anyway, I bought it back from the insurance company and sold it for a pretty penny. So I've got some money to build up this 84. So far, I think what I want to do is put in an 8.8 rear, and either a 351W and T5 (or tremec maybe) or 460 (by the way, what manual trannies will bolt up to a 460?) and then maybe put a cage in it and take it to the strip and tear it up. I was thinking I could have a 12 second car pretty easily cause it's stipped down like a mutha. I'll get some pics of the interior, but it really is just sheet metal. Pulled the sound deadening rubber also. Anyway, I'm going to a swap meet here in a couple days, so i guess if I see an engine there that catches my eye, I'll go with that. As far as the whole 460 or 351W deal, I don't care about power brakes, and I could even deal with having to buy or fabricate some engine mounts, but the weight and the cost of the parts for the 460 really worries me. I mean I could get a cheap 460 pretty quick, but it'd be out of a truck or something and wouldn't make must power. I figure I'd have to spend a bit to make the 460 make the power it should. I think the 351W would be fairly easy to make the power it should, even though it's not near what the 460 could make. At least, that's what I figure. Anyway, thanks for the help again guys.
