lol the ricey parts look like they're worth more than the car itself (trust me, it's not worth much)...

Before you concentrate on building the motor or doing mods or whatnots, why not try providing yourself a nicer ride? Doesn't have to be a new one if you don't want, but before asking about cheap mods for this and that, I'd throw that money into fixing all the little s**t (dash, panels, rust spots, paint, interior, etc) before i worry about performance mods. What's the point of having an ugly pos shell with a massive motor in it, if you're not gonna get any respect at all simply because of how it looks? I don't think it'd matter if you had a j-swap in there, I personally wouldn't give you much respect rollin around in that car because it looks ridiculous. Just my thoughts, but hey, it's YOUR car. Do as you please.

Both cars are better off being scrapped bro.Your either going to have to rebuild either car and that will take a lot of money, or you could find a better base to start with and then go from there.

I AGREE 100%... Unless you know Auto Body I would scrap them and start over... Sell what parts you can, keep the H Swap and pick up a shell....

Then if I were you, I'd focus my budget on making the car look decent, rather than building a motor. Either way, it seems like you're not trying to put much money into it, but you expect to build a ridiculous motor and be respected for it........just my opinion

For as much as you're going to have to spend to get either one of those looking decent, you may as well buy a clean shell. Then on with your plans...
