A 440 A-Body... that can handle?

To start with , you are gonna need some brakes . 4 wheel drum is not gonna cut it safely . They make suspension upgrade kits , like alter-k-tion , which eliminates quite a bit of front end weight , and allows more front suspension adjustment than original . Cornering capabilities , aftermarket sway bars , coil-overs , stuff like that . Tires : spring relocating kit , narrowed rear , those stupid little low profile 96" rim junk . Definitely need frame connectors , I would advise the weld-in type for that .
