What a rush to save that much money on a repair. I have been reading your build from the beginning, and i finally got a chance to add .02 cents. Keep up the awesome work sparkydog! (OK. now .04 cents)
Thank you wuntun! Very nice to know what that thing is.

Yes I would probably switch to elec if I needed to. I should be OK as is. There is a lot of stock GM stuff that would also have to move around if I got too aggressive with the relo. Like washer fluid tank, ECM mount bracket (because the fender skirt would get sectioned), battery. I'm trying to keep the total fab work down to barely do-able so that I don't burn out. I want to switch to front hood hinges and that alone is probably going to kick my ass.
