'62 shorted C10

[lnirenberg]

I just picked up a really nice stock '62 & am finding in regards to chassis/suspension they are a redheaded stepchild. I'd like to avoid going to a new frame as the stock frame is in excellent condition. Goal is to drive in a straight line without constant input, brake without drama, eliminate bump steer and turn a corner with some alacrity as the trucks use will be primarily as a truck and for smile inducing joy rides. I will keep the height as close to OEM as possible as one of its main uses will be to tow a race car. The only 2 front IFS suspensions I've found for this application are from Scott's Hotrod's, FatMan Fab & Danny's original customs. If anyone has experience with these vendor's I'd appreciate input.

My engine choices are boiling down to these--build a 292 FI turbo motor, buy a low mileage Caddie twin-turbo V6 (they are readily available w/tranie, accessories, 8-10 sp autos & drive by wire assembly) & if I decide to go crazy have a Falconer L6 built. The power range would be 350-450 HP/FtLbs among the 3. Anyone know if these chassis can handle this power or mods to the chassis that would make it so?
