Thanks for the info gents. I'll look into it when I see my son again tomorrow. I also found out that the car came from Michigan originally, and I'm going to have to replace all of the steel hardlines for the braking system. Every single one is rusted through, and spraying brake fluid in a fine mist, near the flare nuts. YIPPIE for road salt!!!!

Your going with adjustable control arms?
Are going to buy new coils? Or add spacers?
If you are I got dibs on fixed control arms if you plan to sell them....

Yeah, my son found all of the lines, pre bent, and ready to install, for $107 shipped, online.
He's ordering them next week, when he gets paid.

Good thing 2.5s are just like 4.0s, available everywhere for cheap. Was having it ported, polished and three angle valve job just like The Outlaws 4.9L was. That should compliment the Custom camshaft and header nicely. Pistons and rods are my secret....Lol.
