Default Have 350... need use ideas...

So I picked up a good running 350 from Scale-bronco but, I dont actually have a use for it. So Im open to suggestions, only 2 rules: must be fun and must be reasonably priced to build.

So far my ideas have been:
Mini-rod puller
FOrd N series tractor (I know chevy in a ford but, its a tractor)

I don't think you'd need an extra 200hp for margaritas....



....and what is the difference between a margarita machine and a blender?

Lets say doable to completion for under.... $3000 Prolly should be something at least somewhat useful for that kind of cash.

Awesome little Vega, Did they put a Jag rear end in that and pass a Caterham mid corner?

Because the Chevy motors are cheap. Every hillbilly or redneck has at least 2 laying in the yard.
