It'll be a performer no matter what, that's for sure.

Def. a cool project and 1 of a kind....car's super clean. I'll always have a soft spot for the 3rd gens...my first "performance" car was an '86 IROC many moons ago.
I've got a MWC fab 9 that has a through bolt aluminum 3rd member with wavtrac that's narrowed 4" that weighs less then a stock 10 bolt. So just because its a bigger better rear does not make it heavier if you got the $$$$ to play
