its just the basic air ride kit. rides great. the fronts wheels are aluma star 2.0 and the rears a weld stars 15x8 with 4.5 bs. i swapped a 8.8 into the car. and front are wilwood brakes with the ford spacing, so the wheels are ford bolt pattern. i could swap between my mustang and this. the 8.8 was the best mod i have done so far only 175 bucks in swapping it.

the engine is a 98 ls1 out of a camaro and using all the factory accessories but a/c. and the trans is a 700r4 with reverse manual valve body, that ill be shifting on the column. the headers are f body pacesetter, and engine mounts are trans dapt 1" setback mounts

Great project! I'm checking into the possibility of doing an LS in my wagon. Is there a required parts list somewhere on the forum or on the web? How about cost for swap NOT including the motor itself?

What did you do for brackets and such to get the 8.8 in there? Did it have to be narrowed?

Thanks!
