not sure about the sand paper but as for the sway bars, huge difference. get a thick front one if you dont have one allready and a rear one and then jounce bas

Re: my running project

What kind of motor do you have currently? If it's a 307, the Olds 350 will drop right in, it's basically identical on the outside. If you have a 3.8, you'd need new frame mounts. The K-member concept is a unibody-only thing I think, G-bodies have a full frame and the engine crossmember is permanently attached to it.

Re: my running project

So you need a set of these, 307 G-body frame mounts, and a few other relatively minor mods.
