well im hoping $2k or less...worst case i do it all from sourced parts, motor from one place, trans from another...etc. dont really want to, but its always a "worst case" thing. i plan to take plenty of pictures and make a good writeup on whos, whats, wheres, etc. probably gonna keep it relatively stock, unless i have a splurge of $$$$ for turbos, and injectors. then instead of 300hp/tq, it will be in the 450+ range. well it will be that high at some point...

i have seen it done once before, seems a great fun idea!
