August 15, 2005, 08:03:27 PM

i dont know were to post this so i did it here .... i was wondering if just maybe we could get this post or a diffrent one "stickyed" for just tipps and help with some of the problems that you ran into doing the HO swap because i am going to be doing the swap in the fall/winter and im doing all the studying on it i can right now and yes i have read the cool cats part on this or we could make this a whole FAQ thing .because ive seen alot of the same questions over and over gain here (exhaust,the whole 8.8/5lug swap .etc) i sure theres alot more people that want thi info as well

thanks.
