New Project: Grassroots Motorsports $2010 Challenge Car Options

Just thought I would post up a quick picture of my newest project.

Its a '75 that I will be building for the $2009 Challenge. There is no engine now, and I am still trying to figure out what I will be using.

I think about 200hp should be good enough if I can keep the weight down. I figure I have about $750 for engine and cooling system (or preferably a parts car that I can get everything from).

What do you guys think? What are my best options? Who has cheap parts they want to sell to help the cause (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

I'll update this as I progress.

Thanks Zaney. I have seen those, but the price is nearly the price of an adapter from KEP. I woul just weld the two sets of axles together (Subie inner, 914 outer) to make it work for me.

And thanks Todd. I knew what you meant I was just kidding.

That's what I'm talkin' about! Grassroots!

And I'd think that a Subie automatic would make the linkage a WHOLE lot easier... hell, you could just leave it in drive and have NO linkage.

If you are gunning for auto-x, be sure to budget for springs and swaybars. You could probably fab your own adjustable front swaybar. Weld the ends on after you install the bar. Might consider home-made coil overs vs. torsion bars, might save some $$$.
