RE: 4-banger to v-8 swap in a notch
P.s Also if your car is stick already that you are going to convert....at least on my 92 the crossmember was already a double hump and was centered like it's suppose to be.so you may not need to buy one.....roll under yours and look..... an auto equiped car has the cross member shoved to one end or the other I believe... i'VE BROKEN THE the welds before and re welded them to center the crossmember but it's time consuming.

yeah i havent got the car yet probablysat or sunday. i dont have a donor car atleast yet but there are quite a few junkyards around here along with a pull a part.
so the fuel system again, it sounds like it would be easiest to find a v-8 cars gas tank it bolts up the same,?
or could i just use the new 255 pump i have and ?????

well i dont know of the exact years but a 88 cluster and my 91 cluster was different at the plugs. the plugs are the same but the wire positions are different. as far as the rear end goes it will go right in, it will even give you an excuse to upgrade them since you have it apart
