Billy,, I think you kind of answered your own question, here. I would contact Calvert racing, as a lot of racers use their stuff and we all know it works very well. They can steer you the right direction. I have a '68 Chevy II and one thing to be aware of is the bigger bodied front shocks might not go through the factory bottom A-arm. My son gave me a pair of Calverts front shocks to try, off his '69 Nova, and they won't clear to install. I called him up about it,, and hes thinking these shocks were used on his Global-West A-arms,, so I'm going a different route. As far as bushings go,, the Polys are definitely stiffer than rubber, and I don't know if racers are using aluminum ones or not. I was hoping someone would chime in by now,, since you posted a while back.
Good luck whichever way you go.
