New drag car- Beware not mopar

As for that ride height, why not throw some taller tires on there and leave it as is? Then put a straight axle up front, I think that would look mean!
Then put a Dart or Valiant front clip on it, hey you'd have a Ford body with a Mopar front and diff with a Chevy engine. Then throw some AMC colours on it like a Rebel Machine or something, aha!
