dont forget to add my labor rate!
there are still a lot of things that you are going to need. they may be small, but you need them. and it will take a bit more money to get it in the 12s.

Well if it looks like a 5800 car, so be it.. My main concern right now is motor swap and keepin it stock for a few k miles to make sure it runs good.
The motor i got is not a front clip, but it is a complete swap right down to the fuel pump. Im sure it might be missin something here and there electrical, but the motor itself is complete right down to all the accessories, fan, even the fuel pump the car came out of. $1200 shipped for a motor, i can deal with **** missing. The way i saw it was, why pay 2 grand for clip, when everything your getting is still 1991-1992 and would need to be replaced anyways.

Proabably looking foward to installing it by mid/end of june, and seeking 12sec timeslips by fall when the air is cold and i have a few mods like a higher stall torque converter, LSD, etc..
Sounds like you're doing everything right. Good luck!
