I'm looking for high performance m-body stuff. front suspension, solid front cradle mounts, fiberglass body parts, rear suspension, etc... Thanks!!!

 

Have you tried looking up websites like hotchis and belltech (just to name a few)?

You might have to call them and talk to them on the phone.

 

very hard to find the fiberglass body parts. i found one on ebay a while ago to replace my rusted out one. if your going to use headers you can use ones for a dart or duster with the 318 or 360. longtubes are a pain in the @$$!!! they also reduce your ground clearance a lot. if i could go back in time i would just put some hp 360 or 340 manifolds on or some shorty's. for duals you also have to move the gas tank if you run it out the back. look for a cop car dippy at a junkyard and get the rear end, the sway bar and the driveshaft. if you can grab the 727 tranny from them too. try dippy.org in the forums they are usually rather helpful. oh if you pull up your carpet and remove all of the sound deadening and put down some of the thin foil backed stuff and put down a light weight carpet you can shave off about 40 lbs. another thing could be pull the motors from the drivers seat @ 15lbs total. remove the air pump system about 15 lbs, ac about 20 lbs, switch to an aluminum intake about 30 lbs savings. i may have an aluminum intake available soon depends on what i do with my fifth ave when i get my truck. oh my favorite combo on top was my holley street dominator intake and a holley 390 cfm carb. it breathed a lot better than the stock stuff and still had a lot of torque down low. if you go bigger than a 500 you seem to lose torque. also try to find a set of 85 and up lean burn heads. they have a smaller chamber and boost up the comp ratio a bit. suspension i think there arent many options available. good luck

 

nevermind i just noticed you drive a dippy cop car. i dont think you can upgrade the rear suspension much

 

There is always custom links, panhard bar, and coilovers.

And by custom, I mean making them yourself and buys a set of universal coilover shocks.

 

78D - All i have found is a company called Firm Feel. But good Lord they are expensive. Plus I don't want to cut the car up for a "real" rear suspension. I heard somewhere that e body springs and hangers will fit??

CM - What type of fiberglass part did you find? how low do long tubes hang? I have a '70 340 in process to put in the car... as soon as I can afford to finish it.

THANKS GUYS!!!

 

I am not sure if they will. I wouldn't imagine that you would have to "cut" up the car for that type of suspension, but then again, I'm not quiet sure about the underside of those cars.
