Oh yeah, since you've already ordered your wheels, a Turbo Coupe rear-end would be a good choice for you. They came with an 8.8" Differential, Traction-loc, 3.55 gears and disc brakes. The axles are a little longer and may cause issues with backspacing and tire fit. I am not sure.

Hows it going yall? Sorry for not replying but I was in the hospital with my dad for the last 2 days. But all is gonna be ok so now my mind is going back to other things.

My wheels came in today. Nice setup. I think its gonna work. Im looking at large alts cuz I want to run an elect fan that can handle my FLA weather in traffic with a good AC going. Underdrive pullies would be defeating this point so Im not gonna do that! But I can get a brand new 3G 160 Amp alt for $180 to my door. Im close to going for that. And then get a good 14 in 1200 cfm fan or if need be a 16 in 1500 cfm fan. I have also seen special clutchs for my fan that kick on at a lower temp than stock. Might do that and a lesser, "ME" controlled fan for trafic. Would I be able to run a stereo system with a small amp off this 160A alt with the elect fan too?

About the interior. My drivers seat is cought by the "lean". Its frame I think is given way. I have though about a set of ebay special racing seats. Battler or Izzy brand. universal fit sliders etc. Any comments. I checked corbeau and they are too much! haha

Suspension is still a question. Im thinking the same as before. Maybe go to a more offered 1.5in with CC plates. Well see. Gotta go check on my dad. Taking light care of a 6FT 4in/ 280 lbs guy isnt easy! Talk to ya later and thanks again.
