    I like the stance...if you do decide to go higher in the front just put a straight axle under it...or one with less drop....it doesn't affect the clearance between the axle and oilpan at all..the drop is outside of the springs [​IMG]

    Dave,if you do a straight front axle set up i would make damn sure its pretty strong as i see you have a 460 BB ford motor go gusset crazy on that thing.

    VT, The car looks great. Forget the Big Block. Go killer smallblock or stroker. You do not need the extra weight of a 460/C6. [​IMG]

    i think the 460 is like around 200lbs more and you dont need a C6.Have C5 in mine
