Default Help me make a big descision!

Right now im buildin a 6.0 370ci motor for my truck..but i thought my truck is still not gonna run outstanding b/c of all of the damn weight...i have been studying where people have been putting ls1's into rx7's...this sounds very very intrigueing...i was thinkin i could finsish buildin the motor..get a cheap rx7 and then ssend the motor, a t56 tranny, and the rx7 to that hinson guy...this would probaly take about 5 years to completely finish the project..cause i figured it would cost around 25k for all of it.....i think im crazy for even thinkin of this cause im only 16 years old, but i got a good job and i make more money than most 16 year olds....so should i even attempt to do this or am i crazy as hell? thanks alot!

i have a 1976 baby blue ford maverick that would do great with that motor and a t56 if you want to go that route....it would be the ULTIMATE bad *** sleeper cuz people would think it was an old school ford BOSS 302 yet it would be a bad *** nitrous feed LQ9 t56 combo.....wow, i think i might have an idea...!!!

Use the truck as truck, then have the RX7 as a nice weekend bruiser.
