Soooo happy not having to Ban anyone this week!

Loser!

LOL

Make an offer is just fine or post a question in the garage to ask how others determine is fine as well. I'm sure the most common response will be they search ebay or google for what others are asking and then compare their conditions. If the part is available repro then new cost vs. quality is good to know as well. Parts not reproduced can fetch good money in almost any condition.

I don't believe so, I have never entered one but I think it works like any other thread.

As for the floors you have to do what you have to do some times, most would frown on this approach but you aren't building it to resell so only you will really know. You will have to make sure it is completely sealed though top and bottom and I would use a good undercoating as well, any moisture or sand can and will seep into the smallest cracks and cause worse rust than you replaced. The automotive industry has been bonding more and more parts to cars instead of welding for over a decade now with no issues what so ever, do a google search for "bonding instead of welding" and you will find all kinds of info, process and technique.

Good luck!

Welcome to the forum. That 351 is obviously not stock, sounds like it may even be stroked out to as much as 408 cu in. Not sure how readily available high octane gas is in your area or the cost but if I ws on a teenagers budget I wouldn't want to have to deal with that, heck even at my age and means I wouldn['t want to deal with that. Personally I would consider starting out smaller like say a 302. Even though stock is less than 200 HP it can easily be warmed up to 300 with fairly inexpensive upgrades that will also allow for further improvements down the road as he matures and gets used to handling the car like say a 331 or 347 stroker kit for example. Since your base is a 250 I wouldn't be surprised if it had non power steering and drum brakes still and the last thing you want is more go with out enough whoa so going too big too fast means upgrading all sorts of other stuff on the car too and needing a big budget.

No offense as you haven't done anything wrong....yet but your account wreaks of Spam so you are being watched. If that's why you are here you might as well just leave as you will be banned on the first offense even if it is just a redirective link in your signature regardless of wether you post in a thread or not.

You haven't done anything wrong yet but your account wreaks of spam. No offense but you're being watched and if that is the case then you might as well leave now as you will be promptly banned at the first offense otherwise. This includes adding redirective links in your signature even if you haven't made a post yet.
