Now that I have the tranny swap out of the way I'm getting a little annoyed by the fact I have to go just over 3k rpm to get to 70mph.
It's the damn 3.73 gears from the Automatic tranny...
Fortunately upgrading the rear end won't mean any down time for the car itself; I still have the complete 87 rear-end from the roll over!

So, I was gunna throw this out at the crowd >>>

What is the best combo of Urethane and Rubber bushing assortment?

Aside from the ABS addition to the 92 what else can I look forward to changing out to make this 87 axle work in a 92 chassis?

Speedometer gunna be an issue?

I have access to a Detroit TruTrac from a Jeep Wrangler (Dana 1031) for $100; would it be an investment or a degradation (NA engine) ?
