    4 lug tires VS 5.0L engine question.

    Thanks for the input guys. I know the crap load of stuff to convert the 2.3 to 5.0 and now knowing that the brakes and wheels don't need to be upgraded will make this 5.0 dream seem a bit more realistic for me. THANKS :D

    What does HO stand for?

    Ya i will be getting a donar car cause of all the parts needed to do a PROPER swap. If I'm going to go as far as put a new engine in, it makes sense to make my LX a GT as possible. Ya I know I can buy a GT but its funner.

    8.8 rear end on a 2.3L???

    Ok so now I look for a 8.8, but whats up with the gear ratio. I mean I can go to a junk yard and find a 8.8 (from the pics I saw) but I don't know if its a 3.73 or 3.55. This seems more confusing then I expected. Also is there 8.8 with and without Traction Lock?? I knew what posi ment from my...

    Where did you get your sub frame connectors?

    You can easily make them. But if you have the bucks go for it. I made mine which works fine.

    Guide (w/pics) to removal of those funky fuel line connectors

    Body work questions?

    From my experience. Primer is not water proof meaning you need some kind of bas coat after the primer. Some claim the prevent rust, but never did for my 10 years body work experience. Primer is basically used so the basecoat will stick to it. As it cant really stick on bare metal. My 2 cents

    N/A stock 2.3 performance

    I think it was the conversion to Roller Cam for 91 and above that made a big difference.
