LB, I'm sure you're using new suspension, but did you upgrade the torsion bars for handling? or are you using the same dia. as before? What about the rear leafs? I'm curious as to how stiff a ride you'll have running a lighter slant 6 engine. Is your steering box power or manual? Fast ratio or firm feel?Please tell us you don't have KYB's! They have no give! If ya have the dough, check out Carrera shocks. They are chromed and are better quality.TCC
