E Body Questions
 

Ok, simple pointers to people "in the know" and doing it right.

Both Stock/Super Stock GT

Front suspension ? Options , Suggestions, "expert" contacts ?

Chassis , Strengthing Options , Suggestions, "expert" contacts ?

Are the laser cut connectors "the correct way" in addition to the cage ? 10-12-14 ?

Rear suspension ? Options , Suggestions, "expert" contacts ?

I dont know how easy the rear wil be to do a S/SS "switchable" suspension. I dont want to cut the rear wheelwells how big a tire can I run ? Backspacing for X options , 9 , 10 ? 10.5 ?


For the DP these were "done" items, and certainly not my strongpoint. The Ebody torsion bar suspension makes me dizzy to think about. The rear end setup I think I have a "sort of" handle on.

But also for the DP we had Mike P as the Go-To guy on all these but here, well Im solo, except what I know about them from a pure street perspective which is useless.

So, suggestions, vendors, names, ideas, maximum, minimums.....all will be read and appreciated.

Cheers

Chris

Chris,

On the "how big tire " question, just look at both Don Little
(70 Challenger big block) and Steve Wann (69 Cuda big block)
both guys run their cars in Superstock but with a 30X9X15 tire.

These are just two examples of guys who run fast and consistant
on a stocker tire.

Maybe you should ask Kurt Busch, He seems to know how to make new Hemi go down the track in an old Challenger.............................

Drooze... for rear suspension, go with Calvert...for front, Lamb Components.
