Out of interest, how much does a decent LET engine and supporting conversion parts cost??
It might be that you buy a good base and get your hands dirty doing a conversion yourself since you are looking for a project... ok, you'll prob end up spending a little more than the original budget, but you can spread that cost over time and you'll know it's been done properly.

It all adds up and buying a finished car is a cheaper way of doing things, as I said just expect to have some work to do if its a cheapish car you buy.
