Ok everyone loves this question, so here goes. My car is as listed in my sig, and it's needing a tranny pretty bad since 3rd is almost gone in my C4. I'm dying to swap a 5 speed in, but i'm also itching for some suspension mods. My engine runs strong as heck for being a stock '85 so i'm trying (really hard) to focus on spending money on everything behind the engine.
I know for sure i'm getting some equal length headers/Pro Chamber/catback because the previous owner rigged up some flowmasters and they're on barrowed time. I've already got an 8.8 rear end with the 4.10s, so it's pretty much down to either a tranny swap or suspension + a fixed C4.
I'm looking for realistic prices too if anyone has any, not those "found the greatest deal ever" or "bought it from my unemployed brother in law" prices.
EDIT: ooops, i posted this in tech by mistake, so here's a little tech question to make it legit: was it '85 or '86 that began the hydrolic lifters/roller cam motors? I've thought i had that one down several times only to read somewhere else the opposite.
