thanks for the tips, i'm tryin to stick with used parts... repros are a lil expensive... take for instance the v8 motor mount brackets for my swap... $120 for a set of new ones, $60 for used, the $60 is still way pricey but at least i'll get my motor in there... and i'm thinkin if motor mount brackets cost that much, god knows what axels would cost repro, when i can get them from a local junkyard for $25 a piece
