I have an idea, but it may change. I know drag suspensions, but not handling stuff.

First, I have to get rid of the lightweight drag only front suspension. I'm thinking of putting ridetech front a-arms, coilovers and muscle bar a along with some 13" wilwoods. The rear is currently a 9" with a spool and 35 spline axles. I'll probably put matching ridetech coilovers on the rear and a wave track diff. I already have 12" wilwoods on the rear. The trans is a th400 for now and will stay that for a while, but I would love to do a t56 if I can find one to hold the power. I haven't decided on wheels yet, but something 18". The car is mini tubed and the frame is notched so it can swallow at least a 315, and maybe a 335 but I don't want to have to mortgage my house for tires. I may swap the fuel cell and weldon pump for a stock tank and twin in tank pumps.

I fab a lot of my own parts and this will give me an excuse to make a lot more.
