Well i cut the floorpans out of the 1982 yesterday and then completely ripped out the plastic, seats, and carpet of the 1984 then cut those floorpans out and welded them onto the 1982. Its slowly coming along im a senior in highschool and only have about 3-4 hours a day to work on it. today we're starting to pull the motor and transmission out of the 1984 and then pullin the bare block in the 82 out the 82 has the t-10 toploader in it stock and the car i totaled has the t-5 with a hurst short throw(40% less)
BIG QUESTION WHAT SHOULD I USE THE STOCK T-10 OR THE T-5:?:

In my opinion.....I'd use the 4 spd that came in the '82.
