Can the stock drive shaft and the drive shaft for the 5 speed be spliced to  
accommodate this or is it not the correct thing to do??

In regards to the other items, my Tiger is (or rather  will be when done)
a 302 with a 5 speed conversion. I didn't have a motor  when I got my car
and originality isn't my concern in regards to cubic  inches. I can't
tell you for sure how much it cost to build a 260, but a  302 can be
built here in Oklahoma, professionally by a reputable builder,  with
aftermarket hardware, forged pistons, steel crank, balanced  and
blueprinted in the mid teens for a shortblock, no heads. There are a  lot
of variations of how to build a sbf that will affect cost, but I  am
building a fairly stock spec 302 H.O. shortblock( which includes all  the
forged pistons and steel crank, roller cam) for that amount or less  and
about a grand worth of aluminum heads and your ready to pick  an
induction system. You can also just buy a stock type long block  from
ford for about 2500-3 grand in a 302. With a motor you can spend  800
bucks on a low mileage take out or 5 grand or more on a keith  craft
motor...it will just depend on what you want out of the car.  I'm
shooting for a motor built a lot like Tim Ronak's, but I'm a  horsepower
junkie. (refer to this month's Tiger Tales newsletter for  details)

Again on the transmission, a world class t-5 rebuilt will run  you about
800 bucks, and you will need a tail shaft conversion kit from Tom  Hall
or stumble through something on your own. I have little to no  experience
with rebuilding the factory transmission, I've never had  one.

Just my opinion, hopefully it might help for a  perpective.

or approximate for
parts or restoration or repair. For  example I know the car I'm going to
see has a lousy wood dash. How much to  replace or refinish ? How much to
rebuild a Ford V8 ? How much to replace a  stock carb ? How much to
replace clutch or transmission ? It would be very  helpful to have a
better feel than I now have for what various defects will  cost.

Thanks in  advance
