I see I typed in 7" in last post, but will be looking at ordering the 4" stroke/225# spring units. Am anxious to get the F-1 back on the street and see how it handles/rides.

At age 66 my progress isn't as fast as it used to be, but I do get into the shop more often so it all works out. As long as we are having fun, right? :-)

I did get my 1-1/4" sway bar... that's a fat bar compared to my stock 1" As far as the longer pitman arm, I've got a rear sump pan and may have to raise the engine some for clearance... but I'd like to get the 12:1 ratio vs stock 16:1.
shock/spring sounds good. I talked with some guys this weekend atthe Hiedts muscle Car challenge, they're trying a Nascar inspired set up. 350 ft spring, REALLY progressive shock valving, and 1 7/8" sway bar. - mixed results. Just sayin, theres more than one way to skin a cat. Try Lee power Steering for the close ratio box.
