Any suggestions or ideas are welcome. Also adding a 350 crate engine and compatible tranny. Is it better to replace front end or replace complete chassis. I would like a somewhat smooth ride, if that's possible. Thanks | | | | | Joined: Nov 2011 Posts: 12 New Guy | | New Guy Joined: Nov 2011 Posts: 12 | I have a stock frame on my '41 with a mustang 11 front end, power steering and brakes. The rear is a late '60s (3.09 ratio) with parallel springs. The engine is a '63 corvette 327 that is slightly warmed over. It handles nicely but it's still a truck ride. I'm very satisfied with it out on the road.

I can't say enough good about the ride and handling. And that way it's easy to get suspension and brake parts. | | |
