It will take 400rwhp if you don't do drag starts and its not in bad shape. T2 drive train is much stronger and will bolt right in.

The rear-end tends to jerk to one direction when i go over little bumps in the road...and every bridge i go over everything...makes it kinda hard to drive....any ideas what might be wrong?...im thinking the last owner just cut the springs and i think cause of that the shocks/struts are bad
