About to start my build

Hello all. I just ordered the first stage of my kit from antique and collectables in Buffalo, NY.
I still have time to look obviously but i was wondering if someone could give me suggestions for rims, tires and motor.
I am thinking I want a small block carbed motor and have been looking all over the internet for prices. But to tell you the truth I cannot really tell what is a "good" motor and what is a "cheap" motor. If someone can tell me a couple good bang for you buck engines and/or builders I would very much appreciate it.
PS- is anyone running a 5.0 coyote in their car?

Do you want to use 15 or 17" rims? I've had both on mine and like the 17's better. Currently running 315/35/17 MT drag radials on the back, hooks up great.

Talk to Gordon Levy at Levy racing. He's in your neighborhood, sort of.
