Project Frankenstein

It's back together, needs alignment, but not just yet, I've driven it enough to know it's done settling, Kind of surprised it's as high as it is, The C4 spindles I just took off gave aprox 2" of drop compared to stock S10 spindles. The new setup is based on 2" drop spindles for the S10, It should have wound up within a small fraction of an inch to where it was... not at least an inch high, like it is... I shouldn't complain, I'd much rather fix this problem than having to raise it.

Even needing an alignment, it's "manners" are much improved, now the item needing improvement is the steering box. I have 2 ways I can go budget wise. first is the "quick" box as used on some models of the third gen f bodies and the Monte Carlo SS, ( I like this one because it's easy on the wallet.) Second, the Turn One box form ridetech, (I like that it will get 5 lbs off the nose, much harder on the wallet though...) I'm looking for input from anyone running the turn one box. There are some other things I'm going to do to take weight off the nose,

The biggie is the next engine for it, Flat top roller cam 350 with aluminum heads and water pump, also going to move the battery to a compartment I'll build behind the passenger seat, after tossing the rear seat. (I've never had a passenger in it and can't see doing that to anyone I like... ;) )
