Looks to be in good shape. Just make sure the tops don't leak... i avoided rain when possible.

Mine pored in water when it rained -_-

deciding to go with a 347 stroker and thinking dart pro 1 heads. as far as the 5 lug conversion goes.....is it worth the time and run around to find the used parts from other vehicles or should i just save and buy the kits they have out there?? keeping in mind i would like to upgrade the breaks. i could be wrong but do they used the entire rear end out of explorers or is it just the axles that are needed to put into the existing 8.8? asking to see if the disc breaks on those will be break "upgrade". been awhile since ive looked up the conversions.

Sounds like some fun man! The car looks pretty good from the pics but what does the underside look like?
