“…….I ran a 8 3/4 from a mid-'60's (I think '65) B- Body in my 440-powered '56…….”

Just curious, what are you running for a front suspension and rear springs?

I went through the stock front suspension and kept it. I had the opportunity to clip the front of the frame but after the time spent building the engine, swapping drivetrain, differential and more, I was getting tired of working on it and just wanted to drive it. I'm embarrassed to say I don't recall the specifics of the rear springs, I worked with a local suspension shop and followed their recommendations. Took a ton of build pictures in case they could help some else building a similar big block 'project but none of the rear and springs. Go figure
