Thanks, man. It's really kind of a fun job and not very tough. I found a pdf file online that is fantastic resource if you haven't done them before. I think it's from the Jalopy Journal. The guy was doing a Fiero ( I think ) column and it was a little newer the one I'm doing but those GM tilts are almost the same inside for many years. It's got great pictures and instructions.

I plan on driving down to San Diego in a couple of weeks to spend Christmas with Mom and Bro's and might stop by CPP and pickup a truck load of disc brakes, spindles, and suspension stuff. Keep up the fire!

Yes, the motor came from Summit. They had the best deal and I shopped around a lot before pulling the plug. I got my transmission rebuilt at Transmission Exchange here in Portland. They've been around forever and they were very helpful in helping set up a good heavy duty unit. They are located right on the east side of the river just a couple of blocks north of the Broadway bridge on MLK Blvd. Good luck on the shopping trip and enjoy the Holidays.
