    Suspension What damage am I looking at?

    Even if the grease fitting on the bottom of the ball joint did not slam up through the bottom and push the ball stud portion of the joint up (which it looks like in the picture to me) the castle nut looks like the threads got ripped out right under the threads of where the pin goes through, so...

    o trust me the v6 will not be in long if i do happen to have to put it back in but just to be a backup (in the summer ONLY) if absolutely need be while i fix the 302 or the t-5, which i do not see being even worth the time to actually put it in in the first place as long as i dont throw a...

    here are the pics that i have on this computer of the 83 v6, my old computer took a crap on me with the pics of the 84, need to take some new ones... and yes the 302 is pre 86 with the non roller, it has a 480 lift cam in it now that was the biggest i could go without switching to rollers

    might get me a couple hundred bucks more but its not going to be an exorbitant amount of money, at least as not much to me as actually still having the original motor and trans out of a now 30 year old car

    well would actually just rather keep the v6 and trans just to make sure i can have a numbers matching car if i choose to put it back in if nothing else, the 84 body with a v6 auto i dont think would fetch me that much more that just the rolling chassis
