I was thinking of finding a donor t/a rear end with posi and disk brakes, maybe not worth it?
I looked yesterday after researching the links green bird posted and I do not have mounting holes on my frame rails for a rear sway bar. I can get a this sway bar for half price new.
Hotchkis rear swaybar kit part# 2236R,
It installs from the side of the frame rail, what do you all think of this particular sway bar and how it attaches to car.
Thanks, I do plan on a 400 or 455 but not now.
This is what is meant by planning ahead. Think of what your future plans for the car are, so that you are not backtracking later. That gets expensive!

You can spend a few hundred or multiple thousands on your suspension set up. It's like the good, better, best thing really. Start with an idea of what you want to budget and what you want the end product to be.

The T/A rear is a good idea IMHO, cheap way of converting. If you can swing it, I highly recommend switching to coil overs. Superior ride and adjust ability for any driving habit. A Torque Arm out back is another change to make it corner like a Go Cart!

Connectors are another inexpensive way of firming up your ride, especially after the bigger cube engine goes in!

I put the quicker steering box in my build and love it.

The sky is the limit now with the second gens. and the aftermarket. Wait 5 minutes and something new is developed.

I put everything humanly possible into my suspension upgrade. Thus I know how you can get carried away and spend thousands!!!

Some great info. from these guys here, good luck with the build!
