The subframes sound like a good idea.Since you have all the tools you should P&P your TB. A pulley is also another option.

Just try some more to convince him to get you some headers, usually you got to talk to parents alot about something before they will say ok. why doesnt he want you to get them, does he think your gonna street race or somethin.

I drove last year in snow and salt with hooker LT's uncoated, and there is a tiny teeny bit of surface rust. No reason to be scared of them, cheaper and do the same job. Except maybe 10 years they will be rust. Who knows.

humm no stall yet though, I beleive those need to be set up and matched to your combination so although its a wonderful mod Im gonna wait until I have my final set-up figured out. ( plus i aint got over 2k for another rear end )

I was also thinking maybe some slp subframes...? Im looking tog et as much power to the ground that I can get
Why would you have to get a new rearend from a converter. There is no way that you will blow the rear from just having a converter.

Anyway....why not try to pick up a used LS6 intake for $300.

If not....subframes, LCA's, relocation brackets, Torque arm, Adj. panhard rod....there are a bunch of options available!
