Have an '83 T-Type GN, done a brake upgrade with the 2000 Blazer hubs/spindle....just wondering if this will work with the BMR Upper and Lower control arms?
@ssfamily5422Ай бұрын
Not Sure about BMR. I ended up going with UmI Control arms and Qa1 Shocks. You can contact BMR support team to find out if it will work.

Question for you, did you have to do anything with the steering shaft? I mean did you keep your stock one? With shorty headers. Cause that's what I got, but my header driver side ont go in because the steering shaft. Thank you for your time and answers.
@ssfamily5422Ай бұрын
No the headers came from Holley (Holley Hooker Headers) they fit perfect with the stock steering shaft. I will be changing out the gearbox soon. The steering is to flimsy for the HP I got

They put mine in when I got the swap done. You could call them to see where u could get one. Street Car Headquarters 219-794-5279. This could be similar not 100% sure: www.speedwaymotors.com/U-Weld-It-Custom-Steel-Driveshaft-Kit-1350-Series-3-Inch-OD,332354.html?CSEGoogle&CSE&CSEGOOGLE&gad_source=1&gclid=Cj0KCQiAoKeuBhCoARIsAB4WxtfGCPj5Epu6zTjIw-YtBJArYkRpHBGpjHwAtn4uzlt7Mm2DfxMM-I0aAq2EEALw_wcB

They are defiantly money pits but putting 30k into building a really sweet classic car is still cheaper and more rewarding than buying a new sports car for 40k+.

I wouldn't say its hard . In Illinois you need a actual lot zoned for a dealership. I will make a step by step video of how to obtain a license in IL. I'm sure its pretty similar for North Carolina
