I have talked to my parents and my mentor about my senior project of replacing and rebuilding the engine of my car, and I have learned what materials I will need and how much it will cost to complete the project. After inspecting the car and the engines, my mentor and I have decided that I will need to purchase new headers, gaskets, a fly-wheel, a carburetor, and a camshaft. I will also need other smaller parts, but these are the major parts that the engine will new. After getting a rough estimate of what all these will cost, I think it will take about $2,500 to complete my project. This budget is subject to change after beginning work on the car and further inspection of the car and engine. I have talked to my parents about the cost of the project and they have approved it.

I decided that for my senior project, I am going to replace and rebuild the engine of my 1973 Plymouth Roadrunner. For my research paper, the topic I will write about is The History of Drag Racing. While I have been looking through sources for information on my topic and doing notecards, I have found a lot a very interesting facts that I did not know before. One fact that I learned during my research is that each time a Top Fuel Dragster or Funny Car goes down the track, it costs at least a minimum of $4,000. Another interesting piece of information that I learned is that at first, drag races used to take place on aircraft landing strips. As I continue to finish my notecards, I hope to learn even more about the history of drag racing and how it has changed over the years.
