Suggestions for the future
 

So, at sometime in the not too near future, I would like to start a project on my Dakota. I'd like to join the "V-6 to V-8 swap" club, put in a solid front axle, put on a lift, etc. etc.
Any one have any suggestions on what else I should do, what components they recommend to use, etc? (Specifically for the SAS, what front end should I use?)
I should be moving into my house in about two weeks, and since my friend and I are planning on doing projects to our (now second) vehicles, we are going to both go in on an air compressor and welder. I'm going to see if he will go in on a hydraulic lift, too. Obviously, I plan on spending a lot of time in the garage. Can't let the 3-car garage go to waste!!

Don't really know anything about it other than it's a SAS (obviously, dur), but I figured it might be inspiring to see
