I have a budget of $5000-$7000. I want to buy the cheapest car with the most HP possible. 350-500 hp with a good power to weight ratio. Any ideas? Or if I have to buy the engine and the car separately.
Something like pic-related.

Just do pic related with a 5.3, shit pay me and I'll do the swap
Less-desirable G-body and some sick mawdz to the 350.
Yank?
Old ls1 donk + cam and old turbo = $ cheap and easy 500hp

Volvo 240/740/940, junkyard LS, ebay turbo

3800 SC chebby or Pontiac with a pulley swap? It'll be bretty pigfat though

what do you think the cost will be to do the swap, and install the turbo? I don't have the expertise to do it on my own. Any tuning costs as well?

>I don't have the expertise to do it on my own

I mean if you're comfortable with engine swaps sure. LQs are so much cheaper than LS engines
Just engine swap the lightest cheapest hunk of shit you can find.
>>17247247
Yep it's mine, 5.3 swap with 8.8 Ford axle
Shoot me an email at [email protected]
Going to Phoenix today so I won't reply quick

SUB 1K ON STOCK INTERNALS FOR ONE GORILLION HORSEPOWER BRO
(spins off cliff)
I got a hardon for foxbody mustangs. If I invest 2k in buying one, what is the sweet spot for price/power as to mods? I want a good flatliner that is still fun in the twisties.
>tfw you just want an old volvo brick but every single one of them is getting bought, molested into a half-ass "v8 projest swap yoooo" and crashed
this is the worst hell.

Don't forget, he vastly overestimates his knowledge and thinks that he's some super talented mechanic because he did an engine swap once.
