OK... finally got my budget worked out for my project.
Paint etc. already decided ,and have supplies.
Front drop, already decided and have hardware.
1st question: looking for another engine solution. at first I was looking at Chevy 327 options, which I really like even though people say i'm crazy for wanting one. If I go with a 327 I want to be able to spin it real high if I want.
For the engine... budget says I can go three different routes... a short, or long block and add ons to complete the engine, or... a turn-key engine.
For a small block Chevy(cubic inches doesn't matter now), I would like input from you guys on which route could be the best bang for the buck with a budget of 4000.00+?
Transmission will be TH400, rear gear 3.08.
2nd question: Since I am only doing static drop on my truck with 2.5" drop spindles etc. up front. And I want to lower it in the rear and have a little rake to it. What would be the best suspension option for getting rid of the leaf spring setup in the rear, and a budget of 2000.00 or less.
Anyone used one of these?
