Global West Del-A-Lum bushings, Moog shafts, Moog long upper ball joints, Moog lower ball joints (both ball joints should be low friction), Strange or Wilwood bolt on disc brakes, stock small block no air front springs with 1 coil removed, or Moroso trick springs. Santhuff shocks. Cut all but 1/4" of rubber off of the travel stop under the upper control arm. Or take it all the way out. Cut all but 1/4" of rubber off of the lower bump stop.

You have to notch the crossmember, you cannot take it out completely, or the front end will flop around. There has to be something tying both sides together besides the engine if you run the stock front subframe and basically stock suspension.

Put your weight in the front seat, jack the car up 1-1/2" in the front, and align the front end there. As much positive caster as you can get (we've run 7 degrees) zero camber, and 1/16" toe in.

If you want to see how that all works, here you go:
