Oh also I used a Dana 60 yoke for the 1350 ubolt style to eliminate the strap style that like to throw u joints

I got lucky when we bought our house because we were able to get the 100% financing due to being outside the city limits. I'm not sure they are doing those loans anymore though.

No, I'm from Jefferson City, so KC is about two and a half hours away. I wanted to go last year, but something came up, but this year, I'm already scheduled off work, so I'm for sure going.

Yes, yes I do. The boy needing braces isn't helping with my nitrous purchase. Guess it's time to raise my detailing rate.

From the beginning is a good start. Just kidding. See if you can find a build thread of someone else who has done it. Motor mounts may have to be custom made.
