I'll go into detail later, but this is going to be a Budget buld v8 s13. The budget is $3,000.
Small build list - prices
5.3 LSx motor - $400
T56 (6 speed trans) - $600
Motor/trans mounts/crossmembers - $175
clutch/pp/flywheel - $30
LS2 oil pan setup - $120
driveshaft - $100
HPtuners - $300
That's $1725 leaving $1275 to go. And we're way under budget.
