Hey, all Hey, just dropping in and letting myself be known before I start posting tech probs. I'm not new to wrenching, but I am nearly ignorant to FBody specific issues. I've already done the clutch in this thing, but I have a bit more to do yet. These issues are:
full suspension
brake upgrades
drivetrain upgrades incl: driveshaft, gears, limited slip, and "better" gears for what I wanna get done
replace center console arm rest
replace upper dash
exh manifold leak
muffler rplcmt
full engine/tranny mount upgrades
aftermarket LED/Altezza tails
new paint
window tint
Anyway, hey all. Looking forward to learning much from yall.

Welcome!
What are your plans with the car? Are you going to keep the L36/M49 or are you going to do a swap? The L36 is the Series III 3.8L with the 5spd (M49), right?
Good luck!

I intend on keeping the L36 for a lil while, see where I get, and then, if money were no thing, I'd go with a BBC 454. In all likelihood, I'll end up with a SBC 305 or 327 and build that bad boy up. I FULLY intend on keeping the stick, but I think the M49 is going in favor of a T56. The variable in that is whether I can find the proper fitment for the L36.
Thanks to both of yall for the warm welcome.
