[V8] New V8'er here (sort of), DeHoff's car lives - follow up

So I put the V8 on the lift and !VIOLA! not only are the front control arm 
bushings pretty close to toast, but the driver's-side subframe bushings 
are basically gone.  So I'll drop the whole subframe and do all bushings 
and trans mounts at the same time as the control arm swap.  Should make 
for an exciting day.  In the interrum I brought the tires up to correct 
pressure as inidicated on the gas-door (29psi up to 36psi) and now the car 
is much more responsive in accelleration!  What a hoot.  The tire pressure 
increase has reduced driveline shudder as well.

HVAC issue seems resolvable with blocking the radiator which allows the 
oil to get close to 100c, and water as well.  NOW I get some heat.

Some night this week I will be attacking the instrument cluster repair 
ala:Ingo.  I bought the fancy new ColdHeat cordless soldering pencil from 
RadioShack and will report on it's function as well.

Why the heck did it take so long for me to get a V8?
