Jerry,

Took your advice and hit Northern up for a Torin, plus another 3.5 ton floor just in case... I did replace the chain with a 1k strap so I could torque it down more... Seems pretty solid when I hooked it up this morning, but had to back it down some, wasnt getting the clearance I thought I needed to. Instead of torqing the torsion bars any more than they were I elected to have a set if ramps moded to give me another 2 inches plus some jack stands... So gonna try and yank that puppy in the AM...

I know the deal with the light stuff, first exp with one was a 79 Chevy with a 9in lift... Tranny tipped and I caught it with my chest, good thing I was young and in decient shape then but still cracked a few ribs...

Still leaning towards the 3.4 but kinda leary of the DOHC... Anything I need to look out for? Have a line on a 95 3.4 out of a Firebird and was thinking about doing some bolt on mods to get it up to the DOHC hp range but dont know which one would actually be the best option...

Any thoughts?

Rick
