Cool Lowering and v8swap questions
Im currently working on lowering my 88 than getting ready to 360 swap it. Anyone ever do this? I have some questions about tire and rim fitment and motor fitment and parts used!!

Lot's of us have or are doing the 360 swap....Several threads in the first two pages on engine swaps and also in the FAQ are links to build threads. I'm installing a 360 magnum in my 90 vert currently.

Truck stripped to frame, frame painted, engine built. Redoing all the suspension, brakes, fuel stuff now. So I'm doing a full restore in addition to swapping in the 360.

That's awesome. What are you going with for suspension. I'm dropping mine 4 inches in the rear and 2 in the front

Replacing all bushings/shocks, but keeping the height stock...Going to maybe squeeze some 17" rims in there, so don't want to lower yet.
