Parts are on their way next week!! Cal tracs, mono springs, stock ride height, Im in the process of narrowing my rearend currently, will be about 1 1/4" narrower on each side. Moser axles, Mark williams load side cap on the 489 case, Crush sleeve eliminator, willwood rotors, hubs, and calipers up front, still need coil overs, and LCAs and the car will hopefully be a lot more mean on U-Joints

I have heard not to use certain shocks, Should I buy the Calvert shocks, or should I buy something from afco, rancho, Qa1??
Any suggestions
Rancho = Calvert, same shock, different sticker.
Afco, QA1, Strange are probably in the next tier as far as quality and adjustability goes. That of course comes at a price. Anywhere from $150-300+ per shock.
For a mostly street/strip application, the Calvert/Rancho shock is probably your best bang for the buck. I have a set on my car I'll be selling if you're interested, PM me.

with a decent 360 it ran a 13.2 at 106 with a 1.99 60 ft.
Have never ran it with the 408.
408 is an honest 480+ engine.
indy brock heads, 10.8 diamond pistons, 602" solid roller cam, 260ish @50, chuck nuytten 750, K1 crank, Childs track master rods, Harlan rockers, yadda yadda yadda...
3.91 gears and an 833
its a fun car regardless.

You might want to gusset the spring perches. With a stick/CalTracs and some traction you may bend them...ask me how I know!
Thanks, I plan on wrapping them, the A body housing in the car now has wrapped perches. I used 2"x1/4" strap, used a lil heat, tacked the one edge and wrapped the strap around the housing and zipped off the other end and welded solid from there.
I know they sell a special perch that's pre gusseted, but Im a cheap azz...

Well I made a poor header choice and they hit everything! THey are great headers, but at this point they are there, and I kinda want the torsion bars gone, I can get rid of them for about 500 bucks, and I cant buy TTIs for that.
These are hooker super comps that are coated inside and out, and are the nicer set with slip collectors, and multi piece tubes.
I can put a set of coil overs on it, open the chassis up under there, and make it up to the 21 century drive wise.
that's all
