I worked on it over a period of 3 years. First year it ran middle 13s. As I could afford it and found used parts I could use I improved it. I was in the Air Force with a couple kids so did not have a lot of $ to spend. Big diffence between mine and yours is at least 1000 pounds. My Nova weighed just over 3000. If you keep your eye out for a lighter body it will make going faster a lot easier. Nice thing about the small block Chevy is it will fit in a lot of different cars. No reason not to start playing with the motor now though, and if you find a decent chassis, then you can make a swap.
Sounds like a great project for a Dad and kid.

Of course, that's just my opinion, I could be wrong!
