Welcome to the club.

Sounds like a great project. Choosing an engine is a big step, really have to go through the whole nickel and dime list of things you need to build a similar V8 that will slide right in vs going to the newer style engine or the middle ground of using the earlier style engine and adding a fuel injection system.

To get started you need three things, a budget(A target spending amount and an absolute cap), a performance goal(quick street, occasional track day, autocross, country roads, or straight line performance), and an honest view of how you are going to end up using the car the bulk of the time(if you plan to drive it every where you want a livable cam and air conditioning). Obviously the costs involved in a solid cruiser that can run 12's are far different than a 9 second trailered race car.

Start scribbling down ideas for yourself and our community will be glad to help.

Once again, welcome to the club.
