I used my original springs, with 3 inch lowering block. I did have to "offset" the lowering block hole about 2 inchs,(I'd have to measure to be sure) then the malibu rear end fit right on top of it. Right width etc. Its ran good for the past 6 or7 years ....until last weekend. I twisted it up but think the shift kit I'm running in my 700R4 had weakened it. I plated my original chassis on the front and put a fabricated crossmember under it with fabricated spring towers. I got all the stuff off a 78 STang II and rebuilt or used it for a core, and it has done well. I put the mastercyl and booster under the driver floor board. Used original stang calipers(new rebuilt) and got after market rotors with chev 5 lug pattern....hope all this helps in some way. Good luck on your project. There are a lot of "pros" here to help you with just about anything.
Note: I offset the rear end lowering blocks to center the rear wheels in the fender. | | |
