Spare 1.5 grand, what do?

[frogsta]

I've deferred for this year, been offered 3 full time jobs in the past few weeks, was only looking for part time but yeah decided to defer. Have my books on me already.
A few of the smaller things I can do myself such as the spacers but I'm not too sure about rockers, and I don't think I can do the cam at all.

[frogsta]

Hah I was thinking totally put an LS1 or LS3 engine in there, I've seen somebody do it.

ever heard the term "built not bought"

i find it more rewarding to build your own motor/car/rocking horse as you will most likely learn something new!

this is my opinion though so probably irrelevant.. lol

Haha I like that "built not bought" I only suggested it because from what I gather he lacks mechanical experience and buying a motor pre built would work out cheaper I would think, sorry if Im completely wrong frogsta.

Yeah I can only do the little things
more than likely completely right mate haha
