307 cid engine
200 metric trans
7.5" rear

I am also very cheap by nature, and do not like spending a lot of money on this stuff. It will be a fun challenge!!
Understand your POV.
Racing is not cheap..
However the car is the least expensive.
It is the travel, pit fees, and motel.

The 307 is very popular especially with a QJet.
Your rear is strong enough, parts are available.
Engine, Trans, rear, and converter with be your largest investments.
