If he does it all himself and doesn't care for reliability he could hit that budget. Clutches, gaskets, transmissions, chips, mafs + fuel, tune, and rear-ends can add up quickly. I do see your point though.

Something's up with the cable, it's got play in it at the midpoint. I clamped it down with a little more tension and it's good enough to go into gear and move now but not like it should be. Time to replace it and get moving again.
Thanks guys...
It goes in gear fine now rob, just must have been sitting at just the right spot. The primary problem is a spongey pedal and zero engagement. I'll be at it probably thursday during the day if anyone wants to lend a hand. Otherwise wish me luck.
I haven't gotten under it yet my dude I'm just building myself a checklist and I appreciate as much input as possible. Once this is resolved it's off to the dyno. I'm proud I did an engine swap/build with jackstands, a cheap puller, and a sears portable tool kit.
Starts and has no leaks
Nope I didn't
Just got home and tried the pedal again without starting the car. Pedal is spongey but it had no trouble going in and out of gear again. Anyone got any ideas or you think I should still check the same thing?
Would that have just happened? It wasn't driven since the problems with the old motor came about. It would go into gear on the first start of the engine but I didn't try moving it at all. Now it doesn't. I don't understand.
I marked everything before pulling it apart and placing it back in so I don't know what was looked over. It just throws up the rpm and doesn't move. And the clutch pedal gets softer with each touch...
I did something, I don't know what. I went to pull the car out today and the car went into gear and then then didn't go anywhere...Then I put it in neutral, try again and notice when I press the clutch it got softer. Then pressed it again and it felt nothing like I remember. I had the engine out, what do you think I did and need to do? I gave the engine puller back so ganking the motor is def not an option.
lol. I'm sure they would.Those are some recluse looking bastards aren't they? That fat guy once screamed at my friends and I "I've licked pussy, I've fucked pussy - and I'm ready to die motherfuckers! I'll kill you!"
I appreciate you checking in brother but I didn't mean literally. I was just hoping 1 of those pi type of members would chime in with a link like Thorne did.
That's him I saw the FB page earier, I just wanted to know what his story was (record).
