You guys are going to force me to convert my '85 to IFS just to keep some balance around here.

If you're going to do all that, just get a 2nd gen.

I wouldn't be opposed. With another kid on the way, four doors is looking more and more attractive.

Once you go four door 4R you'll never go back. Hell - why not keep your present ride, and get another! One day you can hand down the first one to your first born.

It seems I've reached an impass, I've been thinking of what's next for the green machine and what sucks is I'm perfectly happy with it the way it is now, the only remaining things I wanna do are sas and 3.4 but I wouldn't know where to start on either and it's a little heavy for a college kids budget... Now taking donations

wheel it till one or the other gives out on you, in mean time pick a direction and slowly stock pile your parts for it. The 3.4 swap is going to be a lot of wiring versus metal work for a SAS.

I do wheel it just about every weekend I can but haven't been able to get a day trip on so far, probably won't be till spring, don't worry about that
It will probably be sas first, I'm good with metal work, want a sfa, and I hate wiring

If you're happy with it, why change anything? The farther you go from stock, the more likely it is to make trouble for you.

I am happy with it and wanna do both swaps, it's just that being on a college budget makes that hard
@ Footofgod
you're doing chevy's 63"s for your sas right? If so what model? Are you leafing the rear too? What hangers and cross member are you going to run? Plans for driveline? Just trying to get some insight

Chevy 63's are for the rear. I'm using stock rear Toyota leafs for my front. Google "RUF" or rears up front.
