Hate to say it, Nothing is going to be cheap on this. IMHO, you will be money ahead to buy a lightning that isnt burned up.....{Meaning a running complete lightning} been there done that.

I can't believe you purchased a project like that without any idea on where to get parts. So it makes this post sound like a prank.

First things first, if this isn't a joke, then do yourself a favor, stop everything and research how much this can cost you first. Once you do that, it will be easy to decide whether or not you want to continue, or to take a loss on the $500 dollar burn job.

Second, if you do decide to rebuild, you will get a ton of help if you go to LightningRodder.com, SVT Performance.com, and NLOC.net and do a build thread so they can all chime in and give you the most recent information regarding the Gen2 L.

The term "budget" is subjective. You could have what I consider a large budget, but to you it's a tight budget.
