NC is a bit far for me to drive to help ya out. If you were closer, I would lend a hand no problem.
I have a new valence that just needs to be put back on.

i want to crank my torsion bars 1.5" and put in 2" shackles, the only thing im worried about is the stress that the torsion bar crank is going to put on my front end....how bad is a torsion bar crank for your front end?

Do you have to go through emissions?

Cranking your torsion bars will of course cause more wear on your front suspension, steering, and drivetrain. Short term you won't even notice it unless it is wore out already.

I don't have to go through emissions. Illinois supposedly has mandatory random emission testing, but I will deal with that when it comes.

That v8 swap looks awsome. Whenever my 4.3L dies, that's what I will be swaping in.
