Thank you all for the advice, I truly value it... To try and answer some of the questions..
It is a 4 door.
The motor turns, and I see nothing wrong with it, all vales go up and down all pistons go up and down. So I ave to say the motor is in great shape except it needs to be rebuilt, at over $1000.00 for all the parts to rebuild, and another $500.00 for the block work,( I called every shop with In 100 miles) and another $500.00 plus parts for a valve job.
The trans goes in all gears, I know it will need a clutch.

Now I may have miss lead you. I'm NOT making a hot rod, I'm putting a stock motor in it, with a auto trans, all of this I have, I was going to put in another car, but never did,
As for the front and rear supination I also have the parts already, none was planed for this car.

The body of this car is in awesome shape, 1 dent, and it's 100% complete.

I was just thinking out loud, that is I had the parts, and someone could use the original parts. It would be win win..

Also, it is being converted to 12 volts, so this also keeps me leaning to the swap.
I hope this helps you help me, make up my mind. I have read so many post about you guys talking sense in to guys like me...

Thanks again.... Blessings.
