As Burt Reynolds said in Smokey and the Bandit, speed costs money, how fast do you want to go?
I can show you where the money goes. You pay for a lot more than parts and labor, you pay for what people spent years learning.

Wow my first engine a 327/275 engine I paid 7500.00 for and went a best of -.78 under. Not lighting the world on fire but not bad for the money I spent.

Looking at this from the point of:
You have a pretty good old stocker motor laying around. Put a roller and a good manifold on it. Engine should make enough power to create an entry level SS car. I'm talking about 2 to 3 tenths under, and there are not a whole bunch of cars in those classes, SS/EA, and SS/FA. |

Wow 3815 lbs! The car with Yves in it was just less than 3400lbs in SS IA, I don't think you could find a place for an extra 400 lbs!
