yeah i been thinking of putting a 3.42 in it ,if i went that route i would probably go with the 700r4 i have all rebuilt not long ago.yeah i wanna see how my car handles the power i already got,plus if i go with the 700r4,turbos are defanetly out of the question,i was just gonna go with a mild turbo boost maybe 5 psi.but probably too much for my baby,i know what u mean though because i twisted my 87 irocz with just 583 hp.with subframe connectors.i think my 80 is gonna look better hugger orange.still havent decided on the final color.

Good idea! Hope the other is in good shape! Sometimes it's better to just not save some things.

50 is a great deal. Core supports go for 200-250 all day on Nasty.

I'm using a stock type mechanical pump on mine. I don't have any pressure regulator, or anything special beyond a pressure gauge at the dual feed line. Never had any fuel starvation issues.

I don't think I'd glass a radiator support, even with a old support inside. That's a pretty integral piece to supporting the entire front body and subframe and could create weakness with glass as a part of it.
