KNOWING YOUR RIDE at what speed were we at!!!!
Just do exactly as ya said.

I would vote no on the oil flush.

It could remove what's still sealing the engine well & that's not good.
Really your ride is quite decent.
Remember anything ya do/upgrade will swap over to a new 3.4 mill!
I'm gonna be over at my other house much more soon I hope to help ya soon!
Infact I'm arriving there at 9:30AM Sat. to meet hardwood floor person and mow my lawn.
I'm sticking the lawn mower into the back of the Firebird.

I read some other posts and decided against it. I ended up getting the 4 leaf springs for the bird im returning the 5 leaf i also got a new crossmember since the th400 wont bolt up to the one for the th350.

You'll find me over there later on.
Sunday I go sand my new Firebird nose in Torrance.
Monday I'm over this 5806 Burnet house more often.
You saying you got the spings up there now?
GOOD! I hope these others worked for fitment better.
Yes you do need the other cross member.
