First mechanical disaster

You missed the critical part... I need it ASAP, as in in stock at a place local... Summit and JEGS are worthless, so is a dealer...

If you are doing it at Dirks, I'm sure Dirk or Tim or Willie or someone can come up with one for you real quick. Might ask.

Energy Suspension!! It's a standard part for many different GM vehicles, so a good speed shop should carry it. You'll have to enlarge the tranny crossmember hole for the new bolt to go through.

Dirk has a stock rubber one, but I'd rather upgrade, but if I need to I can use that one. Tim and Willie I haven't talked to, but there is a local speedshop I am gonna go check out in about 5 minutes.

Thanks!
Douglas

You know what happened when I had my first mechanical failure with the Firebird? I ripped everything out and put the big block in.
