I've seen some that are built out of donor cars and others that seem to be more complete and just have a new engine and drive train installed. I saw a real nice Back Draft racing one which advertised brand new car. I know I want a big block and I would like EFI. I want something reliable. I've seen factory 5's and many others. What are the differences and pros and cons. I appreciate any feedback.
Thanks!

Start off with the basics as your original question is far too vague to respond to in a week:
What is your budget?
What is your intended use? (IE: road racer, Sunday cruiser, show car, drag racer, etc)
What do you want in a car? (ie; top, heater, wipers, knock off wheels or bolt on wheels, independent rear suspension, 3 link, or maybe even a straight rear)
Do you expect to drive it ever day?
My secondary advice is to read the link in my sig line, works for a new or used car. Make sure you get out and see all of the ones you are interested in and not just fall in love with the first one you see up close and in person. They all have their pluses and minuses, start with answering the above and reading the link I suggested, then come back with a well thought out response and we can take things from there.
