Thanks guys, ive talked to others
Who seem to agree with most of you. I do have to box a small section for the IFS kit im installing, but i will modify the box plates. Ive decided to leave the rest alone, and probably wont get over 400 hp out of the small block im building anyway. Im going to pull out the tri-five rear end and swap it with a ten bolt with disc, so steering and stoping will be covered. We just want a nasty little hot rod, not a dragster, so thanks again for the advice. Sooo glad i joined stovebolt!!
