since you make those numbers I would do a one piece drive shaft, or you may be picking your drive shaft up off the pavement. When I wanted to build a fast truck I was going to do a Dakota (older one) and drop a pre 67' 440 in it (which i had access to everything i would need) but the problem was it was an extended cab truck which had the two piece drive shafts as do most (if not all) extended cabs (to my knowledge). So I got an ls1 and an s10 regular cab for free : )

point being, dont risk that thing flopping around and breaking a lot of things and wrecking you. spend the few hundred bucks and be safe.

leave it alone for a month and soak in what you've made.just appreciate it, and it'll start to blow your mind.

a Silvia or GTR grill is in order, and of course

THE INTERIOR.

custom carpet, headliner, maybe a HUD or digital climate control. nothing too weighted but make it comfortable inside.

some ideas.

I hate not having nice interior in a car. also its not good to have a car sitting in primer. Primer is like skin and porous allowing moisture to soak through. Id get it painted asap, or maybe this is just my excuse in trying to get you get it done so I can enjoy it
