Welcome and use it all ditch all the oem stuff

 

Yeah ditch the stock springs they are to narrow.

 

do i use the mounting brackets from the camaro or use the stock one's or u gotta buy something, thanx for your help

 

I used the Chassis Engineering kit to put a 68 camaro rear under my 51 Chev. After grinding out the rivets everything bolted back in and I just had to drill 4 more holes to finish bolting the parts. They also have a crossmember for the shocks that also will bolt in. Hope this helps. Welcome aboard too

 

Pretty sure you can buy a kit Mabey from chevsofthe40's

But you could fairly easily modify the stock mounts and make up some shackles.

 

That's sounds like the go!

 

You can bolt the Camaro rear onto the stock springs. If you want to go the low buck route all you have to do is drill a new hole for the spring bolt 1-1/2" forward from the center on the Camaro spring pad. Pinion angle is not going to be right as is. I removed the spring pads, rotated the rear to get the correct angle then welded the sping pads back on. Same could be done with some wedge shims.
