I would love to see the pics you have of the lower balljoints. I can figure out the uppers but I'm not real sure what the sleeve for the lower should look like. Do you use the press in joint or the screw in joint from the s10?

As stated in the first response, v8monza.com has a great product with their ball-joint adapters kit that has been used by thousands of people with great success. Bob Gumm, the owner of v8monza.com, has also been a great provider of technical content and a supporter of many H-Body groups. You can also see some of the v8monza.com products such as the ball- joint adapters and their V8 Monza replacement motor mounts being used on the Spyder Garage channel on YouTube where Ken and Nathaniel Mahoy, a father and son team work together to build a very nice Monza Spyder that has been to SEMA, and many other automotive events.
