yea i'll probably have a similar setup as you. you have a storker i think
though... my 360 does all right... i've read your site about the rear end
swap. didn't seem to bad.. i just need to get it all done by spring
time... the front is up on ramps and the trans is sitting on the floor
right now.. with a new clutch and rear end i'll be set... that sport truck
site was pretty good. i may order the same setup you have.
