I ran a 1968 Impala with a 396/325HP I/S 2003-2005 Jerico 4 speed, McCloed Sof-Lok clutch, 14 lb flywheel, (you make enough HP to run a Aluminum flywheel too) 4:88 w spool. Rear suspension was a set of Southside Machine lower control arms, they are no longer around, but the bars lowered the mounting point of the back of the bar changing the IC I have them on my 65 Impala stocker now, but with automatic. I also run adjustable upper control arm with Heim joints. The crossmember they bolt too was also braced and I run a X frame off my roll bar to it, these tend too pull out without any bracing. I ran 11.70's , 115 MPH with it. I never really sorted out the clutch, but I remember running only like 600 lb clutch base pressure. My best 60 ft times i believe were high 1.50's , this was at 4095 lb
