Ideas? I was thinking about subframes and electric fan and relocate battery and dump power steering.

Subframe connectors and torque box reinforcements. Get both installed at the same time since they need to be welded in.

Good call. About how much does it cost t have someone weld them in?

Also I was thinking of buying the Strange Engineering Struts and shocks.

My car already had the subframe connectors installed when I bought it. I paid a local guy $300 to weld in the torque box reinforcements.

Keep the power steering in my opinion. I have gone w/o it before with a dd and regretted it. The 89 i have now is just a weekend cruiser with plans for track once in a while and i kept the power steering but had to get rid of power brakes because of low vacuum with cam i have. Not having ps was worse to me than not having pb.
