If you've got $20k to spend then don't buy the '70 Satellite for $10k, it's not worth it if you're inexperienced. You could find yourself in deep ****.
Find a nice car for $18k-$20k - they are out there. As said above, the more models/years you can include in your search, the more luck you will...
It really doesn't look that bad to me. The OP seems pretty inexperienced so a lot of the comments he makes about the rust might be incorrect. Yes it's had a trunk leak but that's common. The spare had some water on it - so what? Doesn't look "eaten alive" to me. Frame rails look great, floor...
I'd put some threadlock on them as well when you finally come to install - they sometimes come loose and the front end feels wooly. You assume it's wear the bushes and balljoints but it's actually the steering box moving slightly when you move the steering wheel.
I'm normally driving 10 over the limit, and this car doesn't wander at all, corners like it's on rails.
To be honest I never liked Subarus, but after I tried one I thought it was a very well engineered and well built car. The handling balance was excellent. The first was a non- turbo and was...
Pedals,
and probably another 20 minor things that all add up, speedometer cables, gears etc.
There's a few ways of doing it, the cheaper way scrounging around junkyards or online for used parts, and the expensive way getting all new parts from Brewers. Or getting a Tremec TKX kit from...

I would pass on that one at $42,500. It's a $25-30k car in a private sale surely.
- Black engine bay
- Rear lower window trim all over the shop
- Engine gone through...
Although harder work you are MUCH better off finding a private sale rather than a dealership like Gateway. They'll tart the cars up to make them look good and won't really know any of the history. They're often selling on consignment, taking a chunk of dollars from both parties.
If you can buy...
Well I would hope that the carb was at least assembled in Bowling Green Kentucky but I pulled it apart, checked it and re-assembled myself anyway. There were no issues.
Wouldn't the OP be better off with something that can still be bought new, is a simple design and parts are available from the local store? It's his first engine build after all.
I can't help with the motor specs but I can say the Holley 650 D/P is the best carb I've had on my similar cubic inch poly stroker. Better than a Holley 600 Vac Sec and better than an Edelbrock 650 AVS2.
