Thanks for the info.

I think where ill start is the diff, then go forward through the power-train.
Ill try an use the diff I have. Try and figure out why an fb drive-shaft wont bolt up. Maybe just drill new holes.

the likely reason is that there were two bolt patterns on the Gen I cars. if i recall (it's been a while) it's S1/S2 vs. S3. however, it could have been '79-'82 vs. '83-'85. either way, there were two and they will NOT bolt up. i won't comment on drilling as an option because i always tried to keep one of each in my cache of parts. also, because reliability issues may creep on the scene.
