Thanks for the replies! Car is a street strip bracket car... for now. My 16 year old is going to be racing it in the highscool class at our local track. We dug it out of the trees last year and put a steel headed 410 small block in it. Car still has full inerior etc. and always will have. Its something he can drive to school and cruise in. Car has 3.91 gears wieghs 3570 pds with him in it. Ran mid 12's with terrible 60 foots (large cam and no convertor didn't help) car would lay there til cam came in and then spin! This year will have a mild 440/727 that ran 12.0's in my 70 Dart. Good torquey simple engine combo with a decent old 9.5 inch convertor. Is there a stock rear spring that will work or just pony up for new monoleafs? Other than different front shocks anything to do to front end? Have removed the railroad tie crash bumper behind the front facia.
