Spend the money to do it right, and you can build a 500 HP street motor that will live a long and happy life, and probably with a very basic short block." Those words must have left a bad taste in his mouth!

He is still racing the Mustang and a friend of his still has the Arrow and races it quite often as well.

The hottest thing going in todays market are factory type race cars with either famous owners or winning histories, or both, and some of them have sold for the HIGH 6 figures recently. So, who can blame the guy for trying to get "All the money" for his car? We may all look back on it as a bargain someday, you never know!

I'm pretty sure he meant both your car AS WELL as the other car posted above (which has a small block). Quite frankly I don't know which one I'd rather have more, I like them both but for different reasons. BTW, speaking of turbo 4cyl cars, I have a stock 1974 Colt GT roller and a 2000cc 4 cyl (Hemi Mitsibishi) out of a 1978 Colt complete carb to pan with the 4 speed trans. Are these a worthy turbo motor or would I be better off starting with something else such as you did?
