Hey HotRod -- That sounds like a GREAT project. Years ago I had a 53 carry all with a 350 horse 327, close ratio 3 speed, and several diffderent sets of gears at different times. That was a way cool ride, especially fun when it was REALLY loud and had 456 butt gears. I never did anything with the suspension except make it real stiff for running in a straight line. Hope you will keep us posted on this deal.
