Thanks to alec I got my rear perches rewelded and made another driveshaft. Next on the list is to redo my transmission crossmember because it has started to bow a little and Im gonna send my knuckle out to be machined for high steer arms.

on a side note can someone tell me which one of these is bad... :eek:

Quick update. I got the engine and trans split today and borrowed a stand for it. Also I have pulled off the manifolds and so far so good its a 30+ year old motor and every single bolt has come loose with ease so far.
