    Are the lower uprights any good using the orig. IFS or am I better off just putting a new clip on it?:confused:
     
  4. ...Fatman makes lowered uprights and you could cut your springs some,, or get lowered coils if you don't wanna clip it. I clip all of mine.
    I'm thinkin on those Chevies you can also lower the bottom 'a'frame plates and space em down to drop the front some.

    a few companys make a nice new front peice to weld in real easy
    honestly i would up date the suspension. ecs if you decide to run a V8 just makes more since all around unless the car will be an orginal style show car, I updated mine with a mid 70's AMC pacer front clip its an old hot rodders secret. Fits perfectly width wise inexpensive to buy and pretty plenty full still went in with out having to hac up orginal frame welded in real nice plus has a rack in it and big disc on it works pretty good. any ?'s hollar later George

  9. ...replacement parts are getting real difficult to find for those Pacer fronts. Also the racks tend to wear and leak , so I've been told.
