On the $ part how fast do you want to go? You can probably find a good backup motor that will run under the index for 3-5K; if you want a 1 under piece then be prepared to spend 12-15K but beware that they are worth that only if you have done your homework and tested all the chassis, converter, clutch, etc variables so that you can use that much power. To get a rulebook you need to join NHRA and you can then log in and get an electronic copy. Cheaper is to have a friend print you off a PDF file of the rulebook (or applicable sections).

You're getting a lot of great feedback, good luck.

Thanks for,all,the input
No biggie , I am going to join the NHRA ,
On the engine that's what I figured at least 12k ,but of course everything needs to work together and that's more $ !!! .Ive been down this road.I just don't want to make any mistakes cause this is real new to me and a bit intimidating .There are some bad ***** looking cars out there that were running some impressive numbers.

I agree with the others; buying a finished car is the most cost effective approach and will allow you to get out racing that much sooner. Whatever you decide it's good to hear that another new Stock Eliminator racer will soon be out there. Welcome!
