Been thinking over the build plan and think I'll change some of them. Recently got a job at a junkyard so parts will be a Lil easier. After figuring out a junkyard driveshaft that I have access to that will allow me to swap without cutting I will likely go with a 700r4. Can get cheap plus the mounting will be sorted for my eventual t56 swap. Instead of a 9" I'm going off nailheads info and using s10 axles to swap in a 28 splint carrier and lower gears into my stock axle. Will be going blazer 4 wheel disc. The Taurus seats have lost their appeal so I'll be swapping to either 88 iroc buckets or 1975 cutlass buckets. Further down the road I will be looking at some engine setback

So before taking ownership of the open dif 3.42 setup I found out the same guy had a 3.73 posi setup laying around. He was down for substitution of parts. Also he let me know of a 403 swapped 83 turbo regal he had in semi secret storage. Unfornately he has circle track plans for it but I'll likely be able to score the removed parts in exchange for helping to set it up
