You could do a complete rebuild of a SBC for less than $500. Including a new cam and lifters, all the rings bearings and gaskets, and still have enough left for beer.

I know several body/paint guys that buy wrecks with a salvage title, rebuild them and sell. They seem to make a profit. Might make it difficult to finance, depending on what it is.

I do have some 12" baffle things that fit in the collector. Not much, and it's loud anyway, so I don't think it'll make a lot of difference. But hey, I can put the STS baffles back in too.. It's not...
