Olds Omega - bye bye leaf springs

[el-camino]

hi,
my wifes Olds Omega from 1977 have now a new suspension
i search a long time on the Net, but no parts to find for a good suspension upgrade.
so i ordered a 4link kit for a 1967-69 camaro from Heidts.
some modifications are reqired, but now its done





for the front end i bought a set Hotchkis lowering springs from a 1977 Trans Am and red Koni shocks and all bushings from Energy suspension.



the old V6 is gone and the brandnew engine is ready


i replace the original heads with Vortec heads from GM performance parts and Fel-Pro head gaskets 0.015", GM performance parts intake, Comp Cams X-treme Cam XE274 and a Edelbrock performer carb 750cfm

the rest you can find on my homepage

Should be a fun cruiser!! Are you going to weld all the brackets to the frame or leave them bolt on?
