Plans:

1. Save up money and purchase a LO5 engine and an Edelbrock TBI intake and throw in my LT1 cam

2. Finish suspension, already planning on putting in my wonderbar, poly bushings, and relocation brackets, but im not sure whether or not i should just go ahead and install some KYB shocks and struts, Eibach ProKit, and front LCA bushings or wait until after the engine is in.

3. I have 3.73 Richmond gears and a Zelex Torsen take off posi, should i throw these in now or wait until i have the engine in.

my question is basically what should i do and in what order: right when i get out for the summer, like i said, the wonderbar, poly sway bar and torque arm bushings, tranny mount, relocation brackets, and aluminum driveshaft are going in, but after that i am stumped. What should i do with the money that i save over summer. THANKS for any replies

Current mods are in sig.

 

gears, then rebuild from the ground up with suspsension, subframe connectors...

 

Well i have already started my suspension (sig.), i have 1LE 36mm/24mm sway bars, Spohn poly-poly panhard bar, and lower control arms, SubFrame Connectors, and an Edelbrock STB, but i see what your saying. I guess ill just go the with poly bushings, wonderbar, relocation brackets and driveshaft then ill through in the gears and posi, then finish the suspension with KYBs, Prokit, and my Ws6 steering box. THANKS

 

you havent mentioned a torque arm. if you get the right one (SPOHN!) it will do wonders for how your car hooks. the only thing to worry about after that is breaking things. if you doo all your suspension and the thing hooks like nobody's business, you will start to break stuff like axles, ZT differential, etc. especialy if you have slicks.

but, with the power you will probably be puitting down with that combo you shoudl be ok...just stay away from slicks.
