Has anyone had any really good productive luck merging these into a drag motor, I keep up on the couple on this site but still am not overly impressed.

I see they still sell ready to run ones on ebay for like 14k, Ive every single part and them some to build a brad new one and im at 8k in parts so I figure maybe 2k in machine work max.

But is it really worth it, to be that different?

I think street car, street rod, resto mod might be a better place for it.
