Thanks Brett. So do you think that it would be worth buying a car that is straight, rust free and otherwise complete, but needs the engine and intake for $3,500-$4000? To be honest, I don't know squat about engines...this is a new hobby for me and this will be my first classic muscle car...so am I making a mistake trying to piece it together? Also, are Pontiac crate engines worth a darn? and if so, where are some good pontiac crate engine builders?
