New to the forum. I have a few questions by no means am I a expert for starters. I have a 1940 Chevy 1/2 ton. I’m looking to upgrade the suspension front and back as well as swap out the 216 for a SBC w/ manual trans. I’ve decided to go with the IFS kit. Now as for the rear I’ve done some reading here and there some say go with the ford 9” and some say go with the 8.8. I was looking at going with the 8.8 as it seems to be readily available In my area. Any thoughts on this?
A few more things needing advice on is power steering and how to go about it as well as a power brake booster. I’ve seen the booster kits that will mount in the exact location as the original but I’m also considering a firewall mounted one. I do plan to do 4 wheel disc.
Any info or pics are greatly appreciated, thank you! | | |
