I have a 1982 malibu wagon classic(similar to jody langs wagon)..right now it just has a bracket motor small block in it with a glide...im looking to transfer it to a stocker...everything is there such as headlights, all interior etc...
not sure of the best combo for this car( 305 or 350??) it doesnt have to be the fastest in class, im just not sure of everything i need besides...a motor,metric trans,rear end gears.. what else do i need?? how much can i do this for?? thanks-colton |

A friend of mine runs stock and I asked him what it would take to switch my car over to stock, he told me to fill my trailer completely up with cash and I'd be about ready..........
PS..The trailer is a 44 footer |

Re: how much do build this to a stocker??
Whenever I build a racecar, I estimate the final cost and present it to my wife and she always says, "Add a thousand". I'm always wrong and she's always right. So listen to the words of a wise woman. I don't know what it's going to cost to build your car, but my wife might. Danny

Re: how much do build this to a stocker??
i was planning on doing that..just to make sure i do everything right...so about 5000 for a motor, 2000 for a tranny, 600 or 700 for a good carb, 800 for a good convertor, 200 for gears,and shifter for 190...so roughly 9500..plus tires, and good shocks..not bad i guess

Make some new friends, go to a couple div 4 races and talk with people with small block cars with motors similar to want you need to make you combo fit. There are some very good folks here that will point you in the right direction.

Re: how much do build this to a stocker??
Have you thought about running some IHRA crate motor stock with the vortec motor you got? You could do that while you're building your other combo?
