Yeah suspension will be addressed. I want to get it running and put some miles on the dead nuts stock suspension first. get a feel for it, some numbers at the track and then change it up. Again to prove what is going on.

Sticking with budget parts. Lakewood shocks front and rear, make my own frame connectors under there. Box in the stamped link arms and panhard, replace the bushings, and what ever else I can see under there.

Converter will be a must, thats very true.

Thanks on the tires! we will have to talk. :number1
