Thanks, I'm in the same boat trying to get my small block to hook
I would ladder bar it but the class needs leaf springs so at this point I've got a set of standard length Calvert springs with home made caltracs to put on.
There was only about 2 inches of movement with the standard front end with90/10 shocks, 6 cylinder torsion bars which I could have messed around with to get more but had already purchased a magnamforce front end that's been sitting in my garrage.
I've set it up on my car and it has 4inches of rebound and about an inch of compression with 12in qa1's and springs which may be a little soft.
I'll be another year away before its back on the road. Got to finish puting on carbon fiber panels, doors then lexan windows. Mini tub rear end so can fit in 29.5 x 12's max size tyre for the class.
Take yor time with ya car Thumper it's half the fun
