Yeah, I can't go nuts on the money spent on this project as I have only about 2.5 months to get it running and have a lot of other stuff to buy for the rest of the car (I'm redoing my 27 for the Billetproof Drags Oct 25th) so a lot of money will be going for parts for the car itself and some upgrades. I figured while I was freshening up the motor anyway I should consider adding some cubes and better heads. But it looks like the parts that would make any real difference are also costly.

The Drags aren't really a true competitive event, just a chance for everyday guys to run cars down the strip than normally wouldn't get the chance, so I don't need to build this thing for all out power. Maybe just some good 30 over pistons, some decent rods, a drilled stock crank, and my early heads rebuilt will be all that I can swing between now and then. Plus I have to buy a new 9 inch center section, upgraded SFI flywheel and clutch setup, slicks, etc, etc, etc.

I guess the old saying " Speed costs money, how fast do you want to go?" still holds true.
