motor, tranny, driveshaft, and rearend, then you just go to town making a tranny crosmember and moltor mounts...if you use ac arbed motor you will have like 7 wires to hook up and your done!

it all depends how far you want to go, it could probably be done with another six hundred.. most of that is in guages (250) say 200 for a rear and if you can get a hookup on a driveshaft 150
