Bump

Forgot to mention i have all receipts, manuals, & specs from the build. $12k+ in engine & transmission alone.

Send me an offer, I can always end the auction early if you're in the ballpark.

Edited. The reserve price is set lower than that.

This 1966 Plymouth Belvedere II two-door hardtop underwent a refurbishment that was completed in 2020 and is powered by a 493ci stroker V8 featuring a Comp Cams camshaft, a Holley four-barrel carburetor, Hooker headers, and Edelbrock components mated to a three-speed TorqueFlite automatic...

Yeah, from what I've read, re-arching is not worth the cost savings. I'd rather do it right the 1st time and not have to deal with it in a year or so. I'm leaning towards +1", I'd prefer a little more rake than what I currently have.

The leaf springs are shot, the air shocks are doing all the work.

Pics of the current stance for reference. I like a little rake, but I don't want the back abnoxiously high.

I've done a fair share of looking through posts on here, but wondering if you guys can help me out. My '66 needs a bit of help as far as the suspension goes. I have the front figured out, but I'm unsure of exactly what I'd like to do for the rear leafs. I'm leaning towards the ESPO springs...

Did you ever get all this together?

That's why I'm starting with the rear end. The front needs help too, but I want to get the rear solved before I start on that.

That they are. & now I'm hungry.

What level kit did you buy? I was just looking at those last night. My car has the same symptoms although the front end had some new components put in when the engine was swapped. Even on the highway when I romp on the gas at speed, it wants to wander quite a bit. I want to start with the...

Solid advice, thanks. I'll take the car to a scale before I purchase anything. I was thinking about going with the QA1 single adjustable socks for the rear. As far as torque, I haven't dyno'd the car, so I'd have to just estimate. Built 493 stroker should be good for 550ish + ft/lbs...

So, after doing some more research and waffling back & forth I think I'll try new leaf springs with a relocation kit and some adjustable socks. With the buy in cost being so much less and others people's results, it's definitely worth a try. Any advice on the springs to try? 2,800, 3,200 or...
