First, for starters, you need to tell us the year of the car. Work in the suspension first such as reinforcing the boxes and installing aftermarket upper and lower control arms, frame connectors and a roll bar. As an autoamtic car, you need a good C-4 trans. You also need to get rid of the cC-Clip axles too, along to installing a good limited slip or spool and appropirate gears.

Based on my research of chassis parts out there, the best frame connectors and roll bar I have found in kit form are from Wolfe Racecraft. Wild Rides makes the best reinforcement kit. For uppers and lower bars and front control arms bushings, I would go with Global West; the rules requires a non-adjustable lower bar; only the upper can be adjustable. Front springs Moroso, rears OEM springs. For shocks, Lakehood, QA-1 or Tokico drags work.

You definately need the subframe connectors. I believe your car fits a class which does not require a roll bar if you don't feel the need to have one. I would concentrate on the proper gear, tire, and torque converter selection. You will benefit most from those items after the subframe connectors.

I don't think the suspension is the most critical part of your build up. At most, I would put adjustable shocks and struts on it and sub-frame connectors. spend your money on the fuel system and fuel injection system. Geet that right with a good converter and the right gear and you will be happy.
