This discussion really needs to be in the HiPo Forum. Your building a Street Rod whether you want to admit it or not. You asked questions about driveline, suspension, steering, shifting and engine placement. None of which belongs in the engine forum.
As stated by both bartamos and Coilover, the information you need is here and readily available to you. Ask your questions and chronicle your build in the HiPo Forum so the resident expert Street Rod guys can help you out. I see this is your first post so welcome to Stovebolt.com. Scroll through the site and see what all is available to you. Drop by the Welcome Forum and introduce yourself. shake
