what i would do is :

first off all 4' lift kit with 16x10 rims with 33's x12.50 OR 35' x12.50

the engine 351W
then rebuild the motor a little mild.. port the E7 heads with headers with Cam " compcams 35-255-5 " with 1.7 rockers i think that will be enough power for me :)

transmission E4OD
B&M shiftkit

then if there is any money left over.. a complete body work with a similair Darker more metallic gray.


thats just me but what would YOU do?:guns:

Fix the dent on the passenger side, swap in a manual transmission. Engine work only if it runs bad.

All new suspension bushings, springs and shocks.

Overhead console with CB radio.

West coast mirrors.

Possibly new bumpers- I haven't been impressed by the strength of that style stocker, although I do think they look nice.

Put the rest in the bank.

not a bad idea.. just suspension.. and body work.. with new 285/75/16 tires.. like in the ones with the rear...
make it look clean and stock again :)

put the rest in the bank for future engine build
not manual.. i like my E4OD but with a shiftkit tough.

16x10 is my vote. You know that Jurgen lol. Deep dish looks sick, and will make the 33x12.5 nice and wide. They wont have the bulged sidewall.
