i have a 91 sbc s-10. im in the nits of doing another motor swap on it and freshening up the trans. been lowerd 3 in. the right way and will only need a few minor things after new motor is in it. i would love to have that car and i know you've been working on it for a long time now so to me it would be more then worth it. plus it would put me back in a ford haha. all it needs to drive right now is an alt. which i have but was given the wrong one at the parts store. ask jeff he can give you a run down with the truck.
