Alright I am gonna do it...my friend is gonna sell me his 92 chev 1500 with a 305 for a motor. My question what tranny do i want to use...the one on his truck or a diff one? Drive shaft thats easy but...rear end what do i need that will fit under the back of a mazda?

what transmission does he have? is his truck 4WD?

rear end you have lots of options. you could take your chances with the stock tranny. you could put a toyo 4x4 under there. i personally have a '73 bronco 9" that is within an inch of the same width as stock. or you could get any 9" and shorten it to whatever width you need.

Alright im gonna do it, found a motor and tranny and a conversion kit from Ultimate Kustoms, my question today is, is there a set of headers that will clear everything or am i going to have to use the oem manifolds?

what kind of engine did you get? Get a holley 650 double pumper! I had that on my 85 mustang and boy that thing worked great! But that was like 10yrs ago not sure if holley makes those anymore. I also forgot what headers it had. so sorry I cant really help ya. Interested to know also cause I wanted to put a 302 in my 86.
