So we say "real" hot rodding isn't dead and one can still build something in the pre-catalog/credit card/checkbook style . . . .
If you had to build a high-performance street-legal car** out of currently-common junkyard parts (excluding tires, consumables and fluids, raw steel and sheet aluminum, tuning/computer flash and/or Megasquirt, and cheap bits such as wheel spacers, wheel studs, cooling ducts, air scoops . . . . ) . . . .
1. How would you do it? (e.g. make, model, powerplant, JY power adder, fuel system, transmission, axle, wheels, etc.)
2. What would you budget for it?
3. What fabricated parts would you make?
4. What numbers do you think it would run?
5.. Where would you run it?
6. What would be the biggest challenges?
. While I'm guessing this will become the LS swap thread, I'm hoping for some more creative combinations.
**Jeeps, trucks and vans aren't "cars" for the purpose of this bench racing exercise . . . .
