It would make a nice "period build" if you finished the install of the Olds running gear, but it all depends on what you're wanting to end up with. If it were mine I would be looking for a wrecked Mustang, T-bird or something else with a 4.6 mod motor, or even better if you could by chance find something wrecked with a 5.0 Coyote & tranny. Get the whole vehicle if you can, but if not get the driveline, wiring & computer. But then I'm repeating myself..... The most important part of the build is NOW, when you develop your detailed plan for where you want it to be, and how you're going to get there. The sure way to bust your budget is to deviate from the plan, and that's the voice of experience, big time.
