Excellent, I will start gathering some parts. Do you use a longer spring hanger or shim it between the front hanger and the frame? I use SS brackets and cut them down on a few B bodies to move the rear end back for clearance. Really appreciate the advise that will make it much easier instead of the entire process being "discovery".
Just passing on stuff that I have learned or figured out. You can shim the hanger back but to go more than 3/8s, I usually just tig up the hole in the new perches you have to weld on anyhow and mill/drill the new hole just 3/8s forward so it moves the rear back slightly. Also I have recently found that the Calvert perches are head and shoulders above all the others. In thickness, quality and strength.
