  2. In and effort to reduce the spam on the site, several years ago I had went to a program where I manually approve each and every new registration. This approval gives you full access to the site, to pictures, and to post, among other things. To be able to enjoy the full potential of the board for you, you need to be fully registered.. and that's easy.. Just send an email to me at jim@trishieldperformance.com and I will verify your registration. This policy will remain in effect indefinitely, as it has completely eliminated the bad actors from our site, who would spam and hack it, once they gained access. Thanks JW

    Being that the car is a torque tube set up you won't have much of a choice for a transplant, unless you are willing to update most of the entire drive line.

    with the torque tube rear end you might as well just get that one rebuilt. Shouldn't cost much more than starting over.

    torque tube systems are cool n e ways.

    One thing I like about my 86 Firebird. It has a torque arm stock to get all of the power the V6 has to the ground.

    Phone book. Find a drive line place. Id buy most of the parts your self. Id pretend to have them already to cut cost. Just call up n ask for a price.Tell the the year and stuff and that you bought most of the parts for it but don't feel capable.

    They would have no choice but to profit if you got all the parts from them. Id also remove it your self. Most wont want you bringing a whole car down and the price goes up then too.
