So I have a new project.
I recently traded my pro street 67 firebird for a more stock chassis 69 firebird.
It does have subframe connectors and a roll cage in it, a very nice one with swing out door bars.
It also came with front coilovers and a 9" Ford rear end.
I am installing a 465 cubic inch aluminum head Pontiac engine that make about 500 HP or so and an overdrive automatic trans.
This will be a street car, I'm not going to autocross it, but I want it to handle like it's on rails!
I am planning on running a 275-40/17 on the rear and either a 245 or 255-45/17 up front.
I need help on choosing suspension.
Do I use a DSE or Global West leaf spring out back or something else?
I was kind of looking at the global west EXT or DSE control arms. What are your thoughts.
