trans fluid was perfect. front end just needed aligned, the structure is not bent. I looked a LOT. i have been called a lot worse things than "far better man" so I thank you.
I actually considered a turbo K20 / 8HP70 swap, it sounds ridiculous but the turbo K20 would have more power (a lot more) than even the 89 TTA which was the fastest and quickest car made in america that year and several years after.

well the crux is that my wife saw me gazing prettily on the car and sighing faintly and coerced my daughters to go thirds with her and buy it for fathers day! so i had approval. but the deposit was mine to lose... I did ask to buy the extra GTA rims and did, so if there is a consolation prize I may own the most expensive set of GTA rims in the USA
