New, new and new...

Hey all. I'm 21 years old and just got a half built hand-me-down Cobra Kit car. I'm storing it at my friends garage for about $40 a month but I'd like to get it finished within the next year. Work that still needs to be done is to have the brake lines run, the electrical done, the cockpit finished and to have the drivetrain set. I'm looking for a crated re-built big block (or a smallblock if I can't find a big block) but am so new to everything with cars (I don't even change my own oil).

I suppose I have to start somewhere. If there is anyone in the Kent, Washington area who knows a lot about wiring vehicles and would like to mentor me for a couple Saturdays let me know via email. Also, I'm looking to spend about $1,000 (give or take) for the engine, so if anyone knows any dealers in Washington who sell crated or rebuilt engines post that info here and it'll be greatly appreciated.

Thanks all. I look forward to reading all the posts here and getting into the Cobra obssession.
