Hey guys,
I've wanted to put a late model 5.7 in my 67 Coronet since I started resto-modding it this past year but have been a bit discouraged by the price tag. That being said, I picked up two 360 cores hoping to do a budget build up on one to get some good HP numbers. I just put together a price list for my build and am looking at a total cost of 2300+ for a mild 360.
It seems to me that I should be able to pick up a late model 03-04 hemi from a car or truck for less than that and put it in the car. Does anybody here have a list of parts they had to buy and how much it cost them total to do the build?
Also what transmissions did you guys use...I am (with no compromise) going with a manual trans, but have yet to pick out which one since my car was factory 3 speed, keeping that is out.
Any input would be greatly appreciated while I try to figure out the best course of action here.
