What kinda intake did you use for the FI conversion?

I like Option 5, too

If I get the job working at the Pharmacy as a sales clerk and stock boy I should be pulling in 700 a month. Which is roughly good for one hardcore system mod.

700 would make a killer streetable suspension setup. Just the RB Package + Tokico shocks, and all new bushings. Boom! You're golden.

Stay Gold Ponyboy!

Just got finished puttin sway bar endlink in the rear.

Went with the poly ones just to get it over with. I ended up taking a sawz-all and cutting the old ones out cause they had been seveirly bent, almost in half.
The car rides so much better now, can't wait to upgrade the suspension and put in the new shocks I'm getting next week (for free from my uncle)

Good luck to everyone with thier project. and to joker so he can get an fb!!

I forgot to mention replacing the fusible links... I did them today, took all of 20 minutes, 15 to run to the store and back, 5 to put them in. Easiest install ever.

Amen to that. Even an N/A 20b FB would be absolute sex.
