im doing alright now. just had to get away from alot of people. but yeah im going to try working on the susp. i had some recent events come up. and i was just reminded the my 9 month point is coming up on my probation so i want to try and get that paid off so i can get early termination. if not then i have to do the full 18 months. so im trying to peice together what i can. i ran into this guy out in sun city though and he's gonna be giving me his 8.8 with 3:55 or 3:73?. so after that next step is transmission and a 5 lug conversion for the front wheel's. only thing that sucks is i'll need 5 lug wheel's. also if any one has a brake booster lying around let me know. mine is taking a shit and i dont know how much longer it will hold up.

dude your car needs a hell of a lot more work to the body b4 you go near the motor your car is all 4 cly stuff the springs,shocks,brakes,rear and who know what else you dont even have subframes the car would flex like a bitch.That car cant take a high hp motor yet put should money into the body and suspension.That car is not really that safe right now i dont want to read on here that you put a bad ass motor in the car and then you lost control of it and you got hurt or killed all because you wanted the faster motor but some of the fastest cars are all in the suspension talk to a few drag racers and they will tell you that.

yeah im not worried about the motor right now. i shouldnt even really be putting anything into the car with the other stuff that i need to take care of first. and im growing wiser everyday so you dont need to worrie about seeing that i was in an accident. i've been calming down with the driving. i cant aford to fix things on the car right now so i need to dhill out with it. i'm focusing on trying to find a steady job cuz mother is trying to get this new possision in texas thats gonna give her an extra 10 grand a year. i cant hold her back and im not aloud to leave the state yet. so if there is anyone who can help me get on the right foot let me know. i have another job fair coming up that i have to go to but im not gonna put all my hope into just that.

man just get a motor and get it running.I ran 10.70s on southside lift bars and a airbag in the right rear,stock 4 cyl springs its not rocket sceince. its a lot more fun to be riding around. with all the stuff you want to do you will most likely lose interest before you get a motor in it if you do all the suspension first. I did this in 1990 when there was not a shitload of parts available cheap, with a 351w and a 250 shot
