Default 85 cutlass

well, new member, got a grocery list of suspension **** in my g body cutlass-

UMI rear control arms, Eibach springs all around, KYB's for the time being, Now defunk Pro Fab tubular upper and lower front A Arms, Energy poly body mounts, Front WS6 1 3/8" sway bar, rear 1" global west sway bar. rear control arm mount connectors, soon an 8-10 point cage. very indecisive about the engine choice though, i have an LS1 with a rod hangin and a perfect caddilac 472. well, heres the only pic i have, i got a slightly nicer camera now, so more new pics to follow.

edit- sittin on Firebird 16x8's with some toyo proxies 4's

It's good to see another G Body project in the works. I'm currently going the whole nine yards on my 68 Camaro but plan on following your lead (at some point) with my 85 SS Monte Carlo that I've owned since it came off the trailer from Chevrolet. I agree with MCSSGMachine on the LS1 choice but in the end, it is your choice and the car will rock either way. Please do keep the pictures coming.

NICE!!! Glad to see how popular the 80's Gbodies are getting around here. Shoehorn than Bad Cad in there. Dare to be different! Maximum Torque Specialites makes a G-body motor mount kit that's a bolt-on. Hopefully, they're still around. Keep us posted!

being an olds.. i think id install a 455.. even a stock rebuilt 1970 455 will make for a prety fast and very torkey ride... but keep us posted.. we are a few G-body people here awash in a sea of 1. gen camaros... so welcome..

well, i was really hoping to go injection, and i can inject the cadillac for fairly cheap. will have to upgrade the oiling system to handle the cornering forces, but its not a real heavy motor as some know. i allready have headers welded up for the cad. (hooker super comp 2" primary with 3.5" collectors ) long tubes rock on big blocks i am still thinkin about going coilovers. need to find some brake upgrades because as of now, i have some high capacity front stock style calipers and factory rear drums

Coilovers on the front are Kinda Tricky. I have a solution though.
Coming soon.
