We're gonna do what we can with the stock tranny until it goes from abuse. I don't think he's interested in building the auto so this may end up as another 6 speed swap.
How much are the springs? We found some used SS stock springs on CL we could probably get for $60-70. Might source FE4 coils at the yard if not.
And the deals are out there. We found this gem in the parts section of CL with little info and no pictures for $650. Got it for half.

If u do the imp springs... cut a coil out of the fronts to drop it down a bit. Here is my Imp with half a coil out of the front and u can see how high it still sits.

Little update...
Haven't done the gears yet but will be soon. The only things that will be replaced are pinion bearings/seal, ring gear bolts, and shims when needed. We have to use a ring gear spacer because the current posi is a series 2 and gears are series 3. Car will get shorter gears after the noise drives him insane and/or possible T56 swap, probably 4.30 or 4.56. Then it'll get all new bearings/seals.
Scored another computer, 3.5" MAF, and P71 Crown Vic aluminum driveshaft at the junkyard yesterday for a grand total of $62. He will need to have the shaft shortened 3/4" or extended control arms to use it, but I think the control arms are a better choice bc stock are flimsy. Plus, car needs a rear sway bar and aftermarket lowers have mounts.
The stock Impy SS springs were sold so I'm searching for other options for him. I was thinking Moog 7268 or 80050 for fronts (both firmer than stock, around same height) and stock SS or cut down 9C1s on the back. The current FE1 setup is a mess.
We should be grabbing an exhaust system, cam, EWP, and some other stuff later in the week. I'll post pics then.96Z M6, ERE-383 #60, AFR 210s, LE cam, 9", Procharger D1, ???whp

We both have pretty high tolerances for hoopty noises/problems so we'll see lol. Not his daily and another $200 on gears is out of the question so they could be in there for a while. Volume up on the stereo and a louder exhaust might help.

We found the junkyard motherlode today. Went back to get the 2.5" exhaust with blowmasters and I realized that the 4.3 Caprice had discs on the back... Something was weird. I could tell there were 3.73 gears in the diff by turning it and when we popped the cover off there was an Eaton posi inside. We also took the rear springs which I'm pretty certain are stock SS.

The car was a 4.3 according to the vin but I checked the block casting and it was a LT1. Someone did a swap.
