I've got the front figured out, thats easy, more a matter of budget.
You just get your coil overs with cone shaped springs, they fit right into the spring tower and they also have a shock style top. The Lower A-Arn would have to be reinforced with a plate or something, but it shouldn't be too hard.
The rear I don't know...Looks hard.

I've been thinking about the rear alittle... wonder if you could mount them 1 on the lower part of the spindle, and the top part to diff cover... just a vague idea thats been on the back burner forever

He's something that might be of interest. How hard would it be to switch to a Ford 9" or a GM 12 bolt standard rear so you could get un-expensive parts. :lol:

If you want to make an all out drag car the 9" is the only way.
But you know what? If I were to build a drag car I think I would either buy one or use a car besides a Vette...

If you can, find RedTurbo, he can answer some questions about the front assembly. He is running coil-overs on the front of his 72 with aftermarket brakes.
