Dirtbag

My names Adrian, currently a repoman in training at least until my license comes back in 2-4 months . I live in miami florida i owned a sc300 blew the motor and sold it which i regret since it was the best car i've owned. Bought a 2007 mustang gt (which I bought for 4000 ) crashed it fixed and sold to my mother which I ended up getting boned for since she still hasnt payed me for the car and probably never will. Now i have 8000 in the bank and i just have one question. Anybody think I can buy a sc300 for 2500 maybe less if i can find a shell, rebuild internals to stock with a thicker headgasket, r154 swap, t67 turbo, and make 450 hp with 8 grand?

Easily. Craigslist or the classifieds here will be all you need. Sounds like a nice plan!

the reason i blew the motor was i had a welded diff i was drifting in the docks i didnt realize i had an oil leak for a couple days (note i was ragging on it hard for 2 weeks straight with a 140000 miles on it) and blew a chunk out of the block greatest drift of my life to.

Dirtbag

you think the motor will survive on 110000 miles with high boost for at least 30000 miles? I mean i ragged on the car for a year and i was surprised i didnt blow the **** out of it then or with absolutely no oil. best 30000 miles of my life lol

FL may have a bunch of already swapped/NA-T projects that you could pick up on the cheap. Might save you some time/money picking up one of those.

Just keep an eye on the oil this time. I think it will last you with that mileage. Remember maintenance first then let the modding begin! Good luck with it and keep us updated. Welcome to CL!
