    Looking few a few big parts

    Alright guys, after the holidays, going to start getting all my pieces together to start this build. Still need to locate a few big pieces and some info. WIll be updating as I get help and parts. Thanks!

    A543 5 spd trans - I can find these all day in 3.77 FD, but I am looking for 3.50 FD to get those extra revs & mpgs because this is going to be my daily.

    New fuel rails - deciding if I can get a set of used ones off a junk 80's, or if I should just go get lines and run new ones myself. Thinking of using 3/8 lines, Bosch High Flow Fuel Filter, AEM Fuel pressure regulator, & Aeromotive 340 Stealth Intank Pump. IDK if i need the AEM FPR since I will have the Aeromotive 340 tho. Got a glimpse of a post about a custom fuel rail, gotta read it a bit more, but I think its the set up I need. Ne info?!

    Clear front markers - I can find clear ones for the LeBaron Sedan, but can seem to find any from the convt...

    Headlight motor and such? Yes, goin to send over money after the new year. Still have our messages. This is for bigger parts that i need to find. Although, may have come across most of a big brake kit.

    the 3.50 gear ratio pretty much makes the 5th gear useless for daily driving. personally both of my cars one with a 3.77 and one with a 3.85 all are great for daily driving, you save gas and mileage with your arent revving it out. i think my 84 has a 3.50 also only goes a top speed of 85

    Thought the 3.5 FD had the best wind out for 5th gear? Was i misunderstood and the bigger the FD the bigger the 5th gear? Thought it was the other way around?

    Does the 3.85 FD come in the A543?

    If your driving less than 60mph most of the time the lower final drive will lug the motor down in 5th to the point it will be annoying. Those 3.77 transmissions are a underated unit IMO. They have a stronger gearset than a 3.50/3.85 unit. Not 555/568 stronger but still better than the early fine tooth gearsets.

    Gotcha. So for my daily that is in the city more than the highway, 3.77 is the way to go? Cool, easier to get ahold of
