OK, I've finally got time to start on a Cadero conversion. I have two cars available and was wondering which one would be better.
Both cars are auto Duke coupes with no options but air. One is an '87, the other an '88.
Knowing the suspension and brake differences, which one would suit the Caddy engine better?
(I know, do BOTH )

For cheap, all around performance, go with the 88. That way you have the best bump steer control and factory vented breaks all around. If you want to go full blown custom with a monster break conversion and such, the 87 wil probably be better.
