Ok all, so I bought dans 71 408ci scamp from kansas.
I am wanting to make it into a fun all around car and handle good. not to familiar with a bodies as I have been into cudas.
The cars current combo consists of; new front stock suspension with polly bushings, ss rear leaf springs relocated to fit 275/60 15" mickeys, kyb shocks all around, home made sub frame connectors that seem well built, stock 318 torsion bars, manual brakes with 11" rear drums and front disks and spindles from a 73 duster mounted on the front side, manual stearing, no sway bars or mounting tabs. the car has an a body 8 3/4 with 3.23 gears and strange axles. and for the real goodies it has; 833 4 speed, with lakewood bellhousing, centerforce clutch, hurst 4 speed and rods, and a 408ci engine with forged internals, edelbrock heads, eddy air gap intake, msd ignition, aed carb and holley blue fuel pump.
first on my do do list is going to be some sway bars and the second thing that is going to be on my list is some 18" coys wheels and sticky rubber,
then probably going to change the shocks, so bilsteins maybe but not for sure yet. Then I need to get some sound deadening in the interior and some tail pipes.
anything else?
