Thread: Project $ 3 K Is Underway

That is a swap that makes sense in one of these. How about some pictures as you go? BTW, those rear ends are a little stronger than we think. I did round off some axle ends with the 289 in it (I was buying a few at a time from the junkyard at $10 a pop) but even those would hold up for a while and I did lots of smokey burnouts with it, since I was 18 at the time.

At this point, Don, I'm really at the "gathering parts" stage but I will definitely post some pictures when I get to the "build" stage. That's good news about the rear ends. I have been a bit worried about putting any real tourque through them since the original engine was a rather anemic 1500cc's. My intention was to limit low end power to save it, but if it can handle a 289 with burnouts even for a short time it might hold up better than I thought.
