hi, im 16 and my dad is going to let me get a car to work on for a street/strip kinda car. I already have a 83 s-10 long bed but know that it will take a lot of work to get it going. Don't let the age fool you im a serious gear head. I am more worried about the strip part. But on the other hand i have a regular 16 y.o. job and insurance is going to kill me if i buy a car that came stock with a v-8. I am in the works of building a 450hp 383 and have the lower end and bare heads already. I was wondering what you guys would buy if you were in my situation. Thanks a bunch
