are they as expensive as the sedans? because at the moment i won't find a xw or xy rolling shell in the condition i want for less than $3000. im not really looking to spend that much, i just want something i can throw around for a few years untill i can afford to buy the 68 camaro ive always wanted. can't wait to buy that, blue with white stripes, 350, 20's on the back 18's on the front, HOOH makes me horny just thinking about it lol.

most ford classic rolling shells in fairly good condition will be more than 3 gs. try something thats not so popular, can you just sell the motor?

Put it in a XD or something you can get them really cheap and they are pretty light too, (untill you put a fat motor like a 351 in them :)). But they don't take much effort to extract 400 hp from and low 13's will be pretty easy

One of my friends almost bought a Datsun 200B with a 351 in it. It was the biggest combination of different car parts regarding the fitment of the motor. I think it also had a Holden SS radiator. It was in Queensland but apparently it couldnt be registed in NSW because of something to do with the power - weight ratio so he didnt buy it.
