    One real nice clean car. better than two projects.

    I've kicked around the idea of putting a TIII in my CSX, but it runs too good as is at the moment. I REALLY wish I could see the underhood of the TIII P-body swaps and see what you guys are doing as far as underhood wiring/electronics. I have my own ideas, but I'd love to see some other ones.
    I'll get some pics soon an post what we have done

    I was told to use 89-90 stamped arm K-frame assembly with the 91 R/T spindles and brakes. That way I'LL have dual pivot arms that are light years ahead of the stub strut design and not any extra caster in the car like the 91 K would give me. So for now im just using the spindles an look in to more

    That will work just fine. If you end up getting camber plate from DJ, then you can adjust more caster into the system and not screw with the wheel placement. I think you'll really like the way the car handles.

    You keeping the R/T around for another time? I know you are limiting your projects...I'm doing the same. Just wondering.
