Used parts are easy to find, especially on big dollar part outs. Prime example is my old stang. Guy parted it out, parts are cheap and I am sure hes still negotiable to some degree.
I haven't built anything on the cheap cheap. When I did the 7up vert I sourced all used parts with the exception of the seals. I started out with a good deal on the car and some ok deals on parts and broke even when selling. There is tons of junk out there for sale, so be cautious.

is there an advantage to this kit as opposed to what is already built & available in the aftermarket?
right now my car has no special ECU tune
