why the 231 swap? just aftermarket support? my 98 has aw4, 242 and 8.25. been debating a 231 swap as well just for support purposes and being able to lock the front with no worries.

prolly just gonna run the 242 for a while though
the 231 i swapped in already had a SYE installed in it so i just swapped them.
