Yea i found that out now. I could run 1-1/2" all around but think im going to put 2" in the back if I keep them. Like I said I dont really trust spacers and the back one looks pretty big. Needs a 2" drop now at least.

Was doing some searching today and seems like if I swap to like a 00 Ta rear axle it will give me the 2" I need not to runs spacers. Also seems like this is pretty much a direct swap from what Ive seen. My question is how direct is it? Is it worth the effort? And what parts will need to be changed/modified?

I'm not sure I'm actually looking into doing a rear swap too at some point, but from this link it looks as if its a direct swap with no modification Rearend swap - Third Generation F-Body Message Boards

Not really what I was hoping to see. Brake lines are cracked pretty bad.

Finally got to a decent part of my new shop. Still some work to do but I will be focusing on the car mostly now.

Well I figured out that not only does my car have a mechanical pump but it also has a electric holley one tucked right next to the gas tank. But I do have a question I am looking for help on before I go the route of buying a new starter. I just bought a new battery so I know thats not it. But I think it maybe the starter. When I try to turn my car over it sounds like a weak/dead battery. The starter tested good at the local autoparts store but I think that its starting to go out and shows the signs when it has a load on it such as turning the motor. Any suggestions what to look for before I purchase a new starter?
