Jeff, thanks for clearing things up.
Think you could do some digging and come back with the actual "out of the box" front suspension numbers? That would go a long way towards helping me make a decision.
Also, concerning header clearance-- will off the shelf a-body headers fit? How about headers for other chassis? Off the shelf A-body headers tend to really limit your oil pan choices... if the chassis would accomodate say F-body headers that would really open up the oilpan options (namely a CV 1080LTRR, and there's no way in hell I could fit one around my current Hooker Super Comps.)
You mentioned exhaust ground clearance. Does this mean you need to run the exhaust under the tubular x-members rather than between the floorpan and the x-members?
I'm sure more questions will come up, and I'd prefer to see them centralized in one thread to have all the knowledge/info in one spot for everyone to reference.
Troy
