Well... I worked a deal with my dad and his wagon is now mine. It needs a little special attention (they're not the best for maintenance), but it's a good car. This one's staying automatic. I have the heads, "headers", and throttlebody for an E7-based HO conversion. Just need cam, intake, and injectors. Next, I'm going to rebuild one of my AODs and use the wide ratio parts from a junkyard 4R70W (anyone know details on that?) and good servo, pump, Mustang governor, bands/clutches, etc. It'll also get an aluminum driveshaft (why not?) and most likely 4.10s. This will be the tow vehicle for the Samurai. I'm not sure whether I should install a traclock for towing or leave it open. Time (and research) will tell.

It has a new "high performance" stock replacement fuel pump, new water pump and hoses, new heater core, and a few other things are new. It's in really good shape except for scratches on the front right door. I'm debating on window tint. It's gonna need some work before I do the HO conversion unless someone gives me the parts free... needs window motors on rear doors, lock clip on driver's door, headlight switch, and I need to solve a constant stall-out (despite brand new fuel pump and filter).
What do you think about the current plans? Feel free to throw in some ideas. I mapped out the build within an hour of knowing I was getting the car, so I may have missed a couple of details.
