Pull your front carpet and your dash out and we can figure out a good way to fix the floor. I honestly think your worries about the torque and it causing problems with the floor pan are simply that: worries, and I do understand what you're saying but I really dont think it will cause any actual problems from the amount of power you are looking at getting.

yeah i cant do it at all this weekend next might work out what parts do you need off the red shell

i just found someone to clean replane and put new valve seals in my heads for 150 bucks i have to order the valve seals but i think thats a pretty decent deal

i just priced the flywheel spacer to put a th400 on it and its only fifty bucks so now i got to start looking for a tranny and some wiring **** and ill almost be ready to get this thing going

Order that head gasket kit and it will come with new valve guides/seals. You'll need all that stuff anyways and although its a big chunk up front it will be cheaper in the long run.

Cant do it. I was interested before but not now. Not that the possibly completely fubarred wiring scares me but currently spending too much money on the FC and spending too much time on other projects. Currently working on powdercoating some parts for Ben (heidihi) and painting some stuff for Jason (Sesshoumaru) and Blade (blmcquig)...
